Aarupokhari (आरूपोखारी), also spelled Aarupokhari, is a village development committee in Gorkha District in the Gandaki Zone of northern-central Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 5,465 and had 898 houses in the town.[1]
Arupokhari sits on a foothill on top of which there is a Hindu temple. The town's water sources are springs that come out of the ground. There is electricity, but it is intermittent. From the village, one can see Manaslu in the Ganesh range to the north.
Most of the citizens are farmers, and those who have other occupations still farm as well. The major crops grown there are corn, beans, and potatoes, but mangos, bananas, and other things grow there as well. Most of the houses are constructed with bricks plastered by mud, with mud used as mortar in-between the bricks. The roofs are tin, and the floors are dried mud. Most citizens own cellphones, and there is at least one cell tower in the village.
