Birganj Things to Do

Nepal is land-locked, yet it has a port - a "dry port". This is a railway goods terminal just inside the border where sealed transit goods from third countries bound for Nepal arrive by a weekly train from Diamond Harbour outside Kolkatha. It is a huge area and spotlessly kept and safeguarded. There is no public access. We got in for sightseeing with a little bit of gentle persuation and with a guard as guide, we being very benign. If you send a packet "by land" to an overseas destination it goes through here on container.
