Thadi (Nepali: ठाड़ी) or Thadi Viswaspatti is the main market place in the municipality and a very old border town and a market place of Nepal in Siraha District bordering Indian town of Laukaha.
Thadi is one of the few towns which is a part of agreed route for Mutual Trade between India and Nepal.[2] Nepal Government has set up a dedicated customs office in the town.[3]
The town connects Lahan, Nepal to India.
Rajbiraj Airport is the nearest airport, roughly 35 km away from Thadi. Shree Airlines operates daily flights between Rajbiraj and Kathmandu[4]
The town is also connected to Laukaha Bazar railway station which is located in adjacent Indian town of Laukaha. The 268 km (167 mi) long Jainagar-Darbhanga-Narkatiaganj line and Sakri-Laukaha Bazar-Nirmali line were converted from metre to broad gauge in 2011–2012.[5]
There are various bus operators who operate direct bus from Thadi in Bhagwanpur to Kathmandu via Lahan, Nepal which is 18 kn north of Thadi[6] and also connects to Mahendra Highway. It is one of the major routes for tourist from India to go to travel Nepal.
