Tulsipur, Dang
Tulsipur is a Sub-Metropolitan City in Dang District of Lumbini Province of Nepal. It is the district's second most populous city after Ghorahi. It was established in 1992 by merging the former village development committees (VDCs) Tulsipur and Amritpur. In 2014, it was expanded with the addition of VDCs of Urahari, Tarigaun, Pawannagar and Halwar. At the 2011 Nepal census, it had a population of 141,528 people in 31,243 households.
The House of Tulsipur ruled one of the largest Taluqs of Oudh, India, which then included the Dang and Deukhuri Valleys. Therefore, it also counted as one of the Baise Rajya (Nepali: बाइसे राज्य; 22 Principalities), a confederation in what became western Nepal. The Tharu civilization of sukaurakot (at the northern bank of Babai River) is one of the oldest human civilizations which was further extended to the eastern part of the country with the migration of the people of this community towards the east.
At the time of the 2011 Nepal census, Tulsipur Submetropolitan City had a population of 142,869. Of these, 74.8% spoke Nepali, 23.3% Tharu, 0.7% Magar, 0.5% Hindi, 0.1% Bhojpuri, 0.1% Chantyal, 0.1% Kham, 0.1% Maithili, 0.1% Newar, 0.1% Urdu
In terms of ethnicity/caste, 31.8% were Chhetri, 25.0% Tharu, 14.3% Hill Brahmin, 7.8% Magar, 6.9% Kami, 3.6% Damai/Dholi, 2.8% Sanyasi/Dasnami, 2.1% Sarki, 1.5% Thakuri, 0.9% Newar, 0.5% Musalman, 0.4% Badi, 0.4% Gurung, 0.4% Halwai, 0.3% Kumal, 0.2% Chamar/Harijan/Ram, 0.2% Gaine, 0.1% Chhantyal, 0.1% other Dalit, 0.1% Kathabaniyan, 0.1% Rai, 0.1% Tamang, 0.1% other Terai and 0.1% others.
In terms of religion, 97.8% were Hindu, 0.9% Buddhist, 0.7% Christian, 0.5% Muslim and 0.1% others.
In terms of literacy, 74.5% could read and write, 1.7% could only read and 23.7% could neither read nor write.
Dang Airport lies in Old-Tarigaun offering flights to Kathmandu. Roads go north into Salyan District and all the way to Rukum (also called Rapti-Babai Highway) giving its connectivity to Pahadi Lokmarg (Pan Nepal National highway being built up in districts in mountain, parallel to the Mahendra Highway of Terai), 29 km south to the Mahendra Highway Amiliya in Deukhuri Valley and east to Ghorahi and west to Purandhara all the way connecting to Chhinchu, Surkhet. It is the major transit point of southern and western dang, Salyan, Rolpa and Rukum districts and serves as the transportation hub of whole rapti zone.[citation needed]
The major source of transportation here are buses and jeeps. Nowadays electric auto rikshaw are also running as local transportation in market and town-side area. For the transportation of goods in villages, tractors are rampantly used though trucks are used in the major highways.[citation needed]
