Amarapuri is a town in Gaidakot Municipality in Nawalpur District in the Lumbini Zone of southern Nepal. It became a municipality in May 2014 by merging the existing Mukundapur, Amarapuri, Gaidakot, Nawalparasi, VDCs.[1] [2] At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 8,762 living in 1,979 households.[3] Amarapuri has three high schools, the Shree Laxmi Higher Secondary School, Amar Jyoti Higher Secondary School and Amar English Higher Secondary Boarding School.

Located around 160 km west of the capital city Kathmandu, Amarapuri is the small village bounded by Mukundapur VDC in the east, Rajahar VDC in the west and the Narayani River in the south and Ratanpur VDC in the north. This village is beautifully located on a hilly area above the plain that adjoins the Narayani River. It is situated in the lap of Mahabharata hill range

The majority of families rely on remittances for both their daily needs and income because agriculture is the majority of the population's occupation. Amarapuri daily exports milk from two major dairies, Amarapuri Dhugdha and Amar Bahu Udhasya Sahakari Sastha.
