Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Sudurpashchim Pradesh (which means Far-Western Province in Nepali) is one of the seven provinces that make up the country of Nepal. It is located in the western part of Nepal.

This province shares its borders with the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north. To its east, it borders Karnali Pradesh and what was formerly known as Province No. 5. On its western side, it touches the Indian state of Uttarakhand. To the south, it borders the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

At first, this area was simply called Province No. 7. However, in September 2018, the Provincial Assembly (which is like the local government) decided to officially name it Sudurpashchim Pradesh. A vote on September 28, 2018, also chose the city of Godawari to be the capital city of the province.
