Mugling is located at an interchange of two majors highways: Prithvi and Madan Ashrit Highway (also known as Mugling-Narayanghat Highway).[1][2] Before the 1970s, Mugling was a fishing village at the confluence of Marshyangdi River and Trishuli River.[1][3] Soon after the two highways were connected, the town saw a major transformation and became synonymised as a "town that never slept".[1][4]
In 2005, it was reported that Mugling became a ghost town due to the Nepalese Civil War, rising violence, and crime.[1] During the war, the Nepal government had installed an army checkpoint at the market.[5]
