Phikkal Bazar
Fikkal or Phikkal Bazar (Nepali: फिक्कल बजार) is a former Village Development Committee (VDC) and now a part of Suryodaya Municipality (ward no.-10) in Ilam District, Koshi Province, Nepal.
Phikkal Bazar is a business hub of eastern Ilam.[1] It lies on the Mechi Highway. It is directly linked by road to Darjeeling, India, which sits 58 kilometres (36 mi) away. Tea leaf, processed tea, ginger, broomsticks, and cardamom are among the major trade items of this town.[2] In 2014, Phikkal VDC was merged with Kanyam and Panchakanya to form the new Suryodaya Municipality.[3][4]
Phikkal has a weekly Haat on Thursdays' where local vendors and farmers gather to trade their products.
