'''Arghakhanchi district, a part of Lumbini zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia. The district, with Sandhikharaka as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,193 km² and has a population (2001) of 208,391.'''

Lumbini Zone is one of the 14 zones of Nepal and is home to Lumbini site, the birth place of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became the historical Buddha and founder of the Buddhist philosophy. The zone’s head-quarter is Butwal and it consists of 6 districts:

Lumbini is divided into 6 districts, listed below with the headquarters in parentheses:

Arghakhanchi District (Sandhikharka) Gulmi District (Tamghas) Kapilvastu District (Kapilbastu) Nawalparasi District (Parasi) Palpa District (Tansen) Rupandehi District (Bhairahawa) Districts of Nepal Celvin Ruisdael sent me a link to the Nepal Population Report 2002 on the website of the Ministry of Population and Environment. This report contains a table of districts with populations from the 1981, 1991, and 2001 censuses, and areas, and some other relevant tables. My table of districts on this page had 1981 and 2001 populations and areas. I ran all the data comparisons I could think of, and found numerous internal inconsistencies within the Ministry report. I found no internal inconsistencies in the data on my pages. Some of the data on the Ministry report were in agreement with mine; the ones that weren’t in agreement were suspect anyway. The simplest explanation I could find was that my own data were correct; also, the 1991 census data by district on the Ministry page are probably correct, with one exception: the population of one of the districts in the Mid-Western region is 2,000 too low. I have added the 1991 figures to the table below.

I have come to the conclusion that the zones of Nepal have fallen into disuse, and that the development regions are now the primary subdivisions of the country. Accordingly, I’ve changed the middle two letters in the HASC codes for the districts so that they now represent the region, not the zone. The last two letters of the HASC codes didn’t need to be changed, because each pair is unique within Nepal. For historical purposes, I’ve added a column showing, for each district, which zone it used to be in.

Nepal also divides itself into ecological regions called Mountain, Hill, and Tarai. These are east-west strips. Mountain, in the north, includes the highest elevations. The southernmost strip is Tarai, with the lowest elevations. Each development region contains part of each section, and vice versa.

The 14 administrative zones (अञ्चल) of Nepal are subdivided into 75 districts (जिल्ला). The districts are listed below, by zone:
