About

Located adjacent to Chitwan National Park, Ratnanagar serves as a gateway to the park. Agriculture is the primary occupation, with rice, maize, mustard, and vegetables as major crops. Poultry farming and animal husbandry also contribute significantly to the local economy. Tourism is another important sector, particularly in nearby Sauraha, a hub for hotels, resorts, shops, and an Elephant Breeding Station.

The municipality has also introduced eco-friendly electric rickshaws to promote environmental preservation. It lies on the bank of the East Rapti River. In 2014, the former VDCs Bachhayauli and Pithuwa were merged into Ratnanagar.
