  • Field Diary Birgunj ICD: Nepal's Largest Dry Port
    Field Diary Birgunj ICD: Nepal’s Largest Dry Port Sugam Bajracharya Research Fellow, Nepal Economic Forum About the Field Visit In collaboration with CUTS International, Nepal Economic Forum (NEF) conducted a field survey under the study ‘Enabling a Political-Economy Discourse for Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region.’ As a result, a team of enumerators from NEF visited the Birgunj Inland Clearance Depot (ICD), the Birgunj Integrated Check Point (ICP), and the surrounding city of Birgunj in December 2020. The objective of the visit was to make a ground-level assessment of the current scenario of the developments in port infrastructure, trade logistics, and the surrounding infrastructure that might play a pivotal role in the multimodal connectivity of Nepal and the BBIN sub-region. The visit also intended to hold stakeholder consultations to get a view of challenges in daily trade operations. Connectivity to Birgunj ICD and ICP The Birgunj ICD is located in the Parsa district of Province 2. The nearest city, Birgunj, is at a distance of 8 km from the dry port, and the nearest Simara airport is 23.4 km away. The ICP is located right next to the ICD at the Nepal-India border. The city of Birgunj is about 140 km south of Kathmandu and takes about four and a half hours to reach via the Kulekhani-Hetauda route. However, large vehicles like buses and trucks are only allowed to travel the Kathmandu-Birgunj route via the Prithvi Highway, which is about 300 km and takes approximately 8-10 hours. Therefore, a 15-minute direct flight from the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu to Simara Airport is the fastest option available to travel to Birgunj.

  • Nepal, November 2005
    Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Country Profile: Nepal, November 2005 COUNTRY PROFILE: NEPAL November 2005 COUNTRY Formal Name: Kingdom of Nepal (“Nepal Adhirajya” in Nepali).
