Province 6

Background

The province lies in the western part of Nepal. This is the biggest province in size. The bordering provinces are province 7 in the west, province 5 in the south and east, a part of province 4 in the east and China in the north. The province does not cover any fertile land of the plain Terai. The province is the poorest among other and is developmentally challenged, too. This region has complex topography. Mt. Kanjirowa (6612 m), Mt. Kanti (6859 m), Mt. Gorakh (6088 m) and Mt. Changla (6563 m) are remarkable peaks of the province. Rara National Park and Shey- Foksundo National park have been delineated in the province. The biggest lake Rara falls here. Other main attractions of the province are Badimalika, Deuti Bajai and Chandannath temples, Bulbule and Shey-Foksundo lakes, etc.

The major trade centers of the province are Birendranagar, Gumgadhi, Khalanga, Dunai, etc. The province is fertile for fruits like apples, oranges, pomegranate, walnut, etc. which are traded all over the country. Besides Humla and Dolpa, all other districts have an access to roads but they are very narrow, just graveled and risky. Surkhet, Dunai and Simikot, and Jumla are some of the airports of the province. Maize, barley, wheat, millet, and paddy are the staple food crops. Similarly, mustard, soybean and hot chili are some of the noteworthy cash crops of this province. The paddy crop is known as ‘Jumli Marsi’ is the very popular breed of paddy which is produced in Jumla.
