In Nepal, the river basin lies in the [[Sarlahi District]], and the river originates in the [[Sivalik Hills]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.proventionconsortium.org/?pageid=41&regionid=20&winnerid=74 |title=Applied Research Grants for Disaster Risk Reduction |access-date=2010-05-26 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070713072405/http://www.proventionconsortium.org/?pageid=41&regionid=20&winnerid=74 |archive-date=2007-07-13 }}</ref> The river enters India in the [[Sitamarhi district]] of [[Bihar]], and flows through the town of [[Sitamarhi]]. It floods heavily in Sitamarhi. It then enters the [[Muzaffarpur district]], and joins the Bagmati at Katra (within the Muzaffarpur district). Before joining the Bagmati, the Lakhandei splits into two parts, one joins the Bagmati and the other remains open and is known as Kali Khadai near Khangura village.<ref>{{Cite web| title=Evaluation of geomorphic control on flood hazard through Geomorphic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph | url=http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/dec102003/1596.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061223035148/http://www.ias.ac.in:80/currsci/dec102003/1596.pdf | archive-date=2006-12-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web| url=http://home.iitk.ac.in/~rsinha/PDF%27s/2004_anabranching_GEOMOR.pdf | title=Fluvial dynamics of an anabranching river system in Himalayan foreland basin, Baghmati river, north Bihar plains, India | access-date=26 May 2010 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140808052445/http://home.iitk.ac.in/~rsinha/PDF's/2004_anabranching_GEOMOR.pdf | archive-date=8 August 2014 | url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
