Rangethanti

Rangethanti (Nepali: रंगेठाँटी) is a village town located in ward number 5 of Aandhikhola Rural Municipality in the Syangja District, Nepal. It is recognized as a major educational hub within the municipality. The village town lies approximately 15 kilometres northwest of the district headquarters, Putalibazar, and about 33 kilometres southwest of Pokhara, the second-largest city in Nepal and the capital of the Gandaki Province. The renowned religious river, Andhikhola (आंधीखोला), flows near the town.

Rangethanti's landscape includes forests, water bodies, cultivated lands, and religious landmarks. The village town also serves as a market centre, providing essential commodities for neighbouring villages such as SaniBarage, Baskot, Ranguwa, Chhapa, and Sera.

The settlement is segmented into Mathillo Rangethanti (Upper Rangethanti) and Tallo Rangethanti (Lower Rangethanti). Pradhyumna Paneru High School, a prominent educational institution, is located centrally between these two areas.

Historically, Tallo Rangethanti has been an older settlement along the famed Baglung-Batauli trade route. At the same time, Mathillo Rangethanti has developed more recently along the Nagdanda-Karkineta Motor Road, reflecting the town’s ongoing expansion.
