Narayani Zone of Nepal borders India on the south. The districts in this zone are Bara, Parsa, Chitwan, Rautahat and Makwanpur. It is one of the few zones that has been left relatively untouched by Maoist insurgency till date. It is one of the relatively prosperous zones of Nepal with a vibrant trading market with India whose effect can be easily seen in the border town of Birganj. The town of Heatuda is the capital of this zone.
The region is drained by the Narayani River catchment, and the river eventually discharges into the Ganga River in India.
Fish catches in the Narayani River have been declining because of the use of illegal fishing methods such as poisoning and fishing for broodstock during the spawning season.
The deep water pools of the Narayani and their feeder streams should be declared fish sanctuaries for the protection of spawners.
