The Chitwan Valley ((ネパール語:चितवन उपत्यका)) is an Inner Terai valley in the south of Nepal, encompassing the districts of Makwanpur, Chitwan and Nawalparasi. The valley is part of the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands ecoregion of about length and width. Major cities are Hetauda and Ratnanagar in the easternmost part of the valley, Narayanghar and Bharatpur in its central part. The Chitwan Valley is drained by the East Rapti River, which flows from the eastern Mahabharat Range into the valley near Hetauda, where it turns west and flows along the axis of the valley. About 20 km west of Hetauda the Rapti meets the eastern border of Chitwan National Park. For the next 70 km it forms a natural boundary between human settlements on its right-hand side and protected area on its left-hand side. West of Meghauli it joins the Narayani River, a Ganges tributary called Gandaki River in India. ==Administrative divisions== Today, Chitwan Valley is administratively divided into three districts: * Nawalparasi District, a part of Lumbini Zone in Nepal's Western Development Region * Chitwan District * Makwanpur District, both of which are part of the Narayani Zone in the Central Development Region. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chitwan Valley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
