The municipal record, researched.

Published background

Rural municipality in the Khaptad-forest zone, known for religious and forest landscapes.

Badikedar religious/forest areaKhaptad region and seasonal grazing.

Agriculture

Badi Kedar reflects Doti’s farming pattern: Maize, millet, wheat and rice in subtropical to temperate zones; livestock (goats, cattle) is important. Commercialisation is limited by terrain and access.

Carbon & forestry context

Badi Kedar lies within Doti’s forest landscape: Mixed hill forests, community forests and the Khaptad National Park area provide carbon storage and biodiversity. Watershed degradation is a concern.

Key opportunities

  • Religious tourism
  • community forestry
  • livestock and medicinal herbs.

Natural calamities on record

  • Hazards affecting Badi Kedar are typical of Doti: Landslides and flash floods are recurrent; the 9 November 2022 Doti earthquake (M 5.6) killed six people and damaged houses. The 2015 earthquake also caused impacts.
