The transit home at Biratnagar was established in 1998 and it is located at the Sainikole Metropolitan city. The district Morang lies in the Terai, Province no. 1. It adjoins the district of Panchathar and Dhankuta to the North, Sunsari to the West, Illam and Jhapa to the East.
Biratnagar borders with the Indian state, Bihar in the South. This area is a particularly high risk area as India and Nepal share an open border and there are different smaller routes leading to India.
With the establishment of Transit Home at Biratnagar, Maiti Nepal intends to prevent illicit trafficking of Nepalese girls for commercial sexual exploitation.
