It is known for its rich natural beauty, forests, rivers, and historical significance. The district is home to Valmiki Tiger Reserve, the only tiger reserve in Bihar, which supports diverse wildlife and eco-tourism. West Champaran has deep historical importance due to Mahatma Gandhi’s Champaran Satyagraha, which played a key role in India’s freedom movement. Sites like Valmiki Nagar, Valmiki Ashram, and Lauria Nandangarh add religious and archaeological value to the region. Agriculture is a major occupation, with fertile land supporting crops like sugarcane, rice, and wheat. The Gandak River and its canal system support irrigation and livelihoods. West Champaran continues to grow as a region of historical, ecological, and cultural importance.
