Tulsipur is a town and V.D.C. in Dang Deokhuri District in the Rapti Zone of south-western Nepal. It is also the district's main bazaar. The 1991 Nepal census counted 13,815 persons in 2,540 households.[1] Dang Airport is about two km south of the town center. Unpaved roads go north into Salyan District, south to the Mahendra Highway in Deokhuri Valley and east to Tribhuvannagar (Ghorahi).
[edit] History
Before the unification of Nepal Dang-Deukhuri was ruled by the House of Tulsipur, a kingdom spanning the present international border and ruling Inner Terai Valleys of Nepal#Dang-Deukhuri as well as the adjacent Outer Terai now in India. This local kingdom was one of proto-Nepal's Baise Rajya (22 Principalities) as well as one of the Taluqs of Oudh. Therefore Tulsipur in Dang District is connected to Tulsipur in Uttar Pradesh, 65 km. to the south, by their history of being jointly ruled.
