Sampurna Nagar is about 12 hours from Delhi by car or train and can be reached from Lucknow by meter gauge trains in about 5 hours. The city is close to the Nepal border, with the Nepali town of Dhangadhi about 25 kilometres (16 mi) by road. There are several schools and colleges in the city, including the Public Inter College (PIC), Kanya Junior School, and Indira Shiksha Niketan.
