Gandaki was a special area, or "zone," in the country of Nepal. It was one of fourteen such zones. You could find Gandaki in the western part of Nepal, known as the Western Development Region. The name Gandaki comes from the Gandaki River, a major river in Nepal.
Districts of Gandaki Zone
The Gandaki zone was divided into six smaller areas called districts. Each district had its own main town or "headquarters." These districts helped manage the different parts of the zone.
| District | Type of Land | Main Town (Headquarters) |
|---|---|---|
| Gorkha | Hill | Prithbinarayan (Gorkha) |
| Kaski | Hill | Pokhara |
| Lamjung | Hill | Besisahar |
| Manang | Mountain | Chame |
| Syangja | Hill | Syangja |
| Tanahu | Hill | Damauli |
Some of these districts were in the "Hill Region" of Nepal, meaning they had many hills and valleys. One district, Manang, was in the "Mountain Region," which means it was much higher up with big mountains.
