VDCs in Pyuthan

Syaulibang is a village and Village Development Committee in Pyuthan, a Middle Hills district of Rapti Zone, western Nepal.

Etymology

In Khamkura Syauli means apple. Bang means a high field or pasture, usually above 2,000 meters where snow can fall, suggesting a climate with enough winter cold for cultivating apples, so 'Apple Orchard' is a reasonable translation of this place name.
