Ranibas

Ranibas is a village in the hill country of Bhojpur in eastern Nepal. The wider region takes its name from the Himalayan birch, whose bark was traditionally known as bhojpatra. These hills form part of the country associated with Kirati peoples, whose name appears in old Sanskrit literature for inhabitants of the Himalayan mountains. Forested ridges and river valleys separate Ranibas from the neighbouring districts of the Kosi basin.
