Rajgadh (Nepali: राजगढ) is one of the villages in the southern part of the Jhapa district in Nepal. Its elevation range is 80–120 m above sea level. Some of its land area is covered with dense forest, known as the Charkose Jhadi. Its neighbouring VDCs are Chakchaki, Goldhhap, Sharanamati, Jalthal and Gherabari. It also borders India.

==History and culture== Rajgadh means "state of Rajbanshi", and was so named because it was the main residence of the Rajbanshi people; Rajbanshis still make up about half the population of Rajgadh. People from other groups such as Brahmin, Rai, and Limbu also live in Rajgadh. Rajgadh has several temples, including Shree Durga Mandir, Krishna Temple, Shiv Mandir, and Shree Dangi Laxmisthan.
