The municipal record, researched.

Published background

Rural municipality containing the historic Raika capital of Ajaymeru and wildlife corridors.

Historic Ajaymeru capitalelephant movement corridors and mixed forests.

Agriculture

Ajaymeru reflects Dadeldhura’s farming pattern: Rice, maize, wheat and millet in subtropical hills; livestock is important. Irrigation and market access are better than in more remote hill districts.

Carbon & forestry context

Ajaymeru lies within Dadeldhura’s forest landscape: Hill forests and community forests; part of the Chure/Siwalik range in the south. Moderate carbon sequestration and watershed protection value.

Key opportunities

  • Heritage tourism
  • wildlife-compatible agriculture
  • community forestry and ecotourism.

Natural calamities on record

  • Hazards affecting Ajaymeru are typical of Dadeldhura: Landslides, flash floods and fires occur during monsoon and dry seasons; the 2015 earthquake caused damage. Roads are frequently disrupted by landslides.
