Manpur Tapara is a town and marketplace in Rajapur Municipality in Bardiya District in the Bheri Zone of south-western Nepal.

The former village development committee (VDC) was merged with Daulatpur, Naya Gaun, Badalpur, Bhimapur and Rajapur VDCs to form the new municipality on 18 May 2014.

Karnali river brings heavy sediments during monsoon season and deposits in the canal beds and the field every year.

Previously, it required more than two months of work to control the amount of water coming into Maila Nala from Geruwa.

Material used in the dam were, non compacted slab of soil called chapari or chyapa, branches of trees and cobbles and boulders.

Manpur Tapara used to be covered with agricultural land some forest and it had a small population of indigenous Tharu people just 50 years back.
