The Nepali word Aaitabar means "Sunday".[5] Aaitabare is a common Eastern Nepal town name that indicates the day of the weekly haat bazaar.[6] GeoNames lists 11 populated places with this name.[7]

The Shiva Mandir Hindu temple is in the north of the village.[2] The Syarlo Tamu Kwoiwo Gurung monastery is in the Aaitabare market.[3]
In August 2018 the Minister for Energy, Water Resource and Irrigation Barsaman Pun announced a 30-kilowatt capacity solar mini-grid project in Miklajung Rural Municipality-1 in Morang district and electrification of 75 houses in the Aitabare area that had not been connected to the grid.[12]
Communications
editThe Kanepokhari–Rangeli Road runs through the village from south to north, terminating on the East–West Highway about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north of the village. The Itabare–Jahada road runs west from the village to Jahada, and the Aitabare–Sukrabare runs east from the village to Sukrabare.[2] If a February 2020 proposal for electrified railway alignment (Inaruwa–Kakarbhitta main line and Itahari–Biratnagar link line) is approved, Aitabare would be one of the settlements along the line, between Chalisbigha and Pachisbigha. Most of these settlements are clusters of houses with a small market.[13]
