Khalanga is a town and the district headquarters of the Darchula District in the Sudurpashchim Province of Nepal. It is part of the Mahakali Municipality in the Mahakali Zone. The town is located on the bank of Mahakali River and the border with Dharchula District of Uttarakhand state, India. The town on the Indian side of the border also has similar name called Dharchula.
Mahakali river is the border between Nepal and India. There is suspension bridge that connects the towns on the two sides. Nepali and Indian nationals can cross the border without any restrictions . The border is closed at night for security reasons. Although it is common for Nepali peoples to go to India for buying goods, they need to go through the customs checkpoint established in both (India and Nepal) sides.[citation needed]
