Moon Poudel was born on Bhadra 25, 2012 BS (10 September 1955) in Thahiti, Kathmandu as the eldest son of Kamala and Nilnath Upadhyaya (Poudel). Later, his family moved to Bhagbatipur, a village in the Dhanusha district of Nepal.[5]

During his educational years, he encountered key influences from Nepali literary traditions, particularly satire and the ghazal form, which shaped his writing style.[5][11]
