Nordbygdi is a village in the municipality of Bykle in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the Setesdalen valley along the northeastern shore of the lake, Botsvatn. The village is located about west of the village of Bykle and the river Otra, and about south of the lake Reinevatn.
The village includes three farm areas: Nesland, Tveiti, and Holen. Most of the farms and houses in this village were moved away during the late-1970s when the Botsvatn dam was built to create the large lake/reservoir Botsvatn.[2]
