'''Chaukhara''' is a [[town]] and [[nagar panchayat]] in [[Domariaganj]] [[tehsil]] of [[Siddharthnagar district]] in the [[States and union territories of India|state]] of [[Uttar Pradesh]], [[India]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Chaukhara in Domriaganj Tehsil, Siddharth Nagar, Uttar Pradesh |url=https://m.mapsofindia.com/villages/uttar-pradesh/siddharthnagar/domariyaganj/chaukhara.html |website=m.mapsofindia.com}}</ref>

==Geography==
Chaukhara is located at {{coord|27|14|45.7|N|82|39|29.5|E|}}, with an average elevation of 110 meters (360 feet). Situated in the swampy region of northeastern Uttar Pradesh, Chaukhara lies ten miles from the [[Nepal]] border.<ref>{{cite web |title=India and adjacent countries 1:253,440 Butwal, Dokhori, Palpa, Piuthan & Sallyana Districts, Bahraich, Basti & Gonda Districts, Nepal & United Provinces no. 63 I Utraula |url=http://collections.lib.uwm.edu/cdm/ref/collection/agdm/id/16279 |website=collections.lib.uwm.edu}}</ref> It is 5 kilometers from the [[tehsil]] headquarters at [[Domariaganj]], 60 kilometers from the [[district]] headquarters at [[Siddharthnagar|Siddharth Nagar]], and 30 kilometers from the [[Nepal]] border. Nestled in the plains between the Budhi Rapti River to the north and the [[West Rapti River|Rapti]] River to the south, Chaukhara enjoys a moderate climate with average rainfall of approximately 50 inches.<ref>{{cite web |title=Basti: A Gazetteer, being Volume XXXII of the District Gazetteer of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh |url=https://www.indianculture.gov.in/gazettes/basti-gazetteer-being-volume-xxxii-district-gazetteer-united-provinces-agra-and-oudh |website=indianculture.gov.in}}</ref> However, its location in the plains between two rivers makes it susceptible to recurrent flooding. The total cultivated area in the village is 711.6 acres, with approximately one-third dedicated to single-crop cultivation. <ref>{{cite thesis |last=Balram |first=Chaudhri |date=2002 |publisher=Dr. Rammanohar Lohia Avadh University, Faizabad |title=20vi Sadi ke Uttarardh me Basti Mandal me Shiksha ke Vikas ka Etihas |hdl=10603/236495 |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10603/236495}}</ref>
