Overview

The Darchula customs office is a sub-customs office of Mahakali customs under Department of Customs of Nepal for Sudurpashchim province. It lies on the western border between India and Nepal. There is a parallel road on the Nepal and India side, but the roads are not connected across the Mahakali river and hence is inaccessible for vehicles. A suspension bridge for pedestrians only is the only means to cross this border between Nepal and India.
