Kathmandu District includes Kathmandu Metropolitan City and ten other municipalities. Use this district map when you know an address is in Kathmandu District but need to identify its local government.

Find the municipality first

Open Kathmandu city for the metropolitan wards. The other municipalities are Budhanilakantha, Chandragiri, Dakshinkali, Gokarneshwor, Kageshwori Manahora, Kirtipur, Nagarjun, Shankharapur, Tarakeshwor and Tokha.

Each guide opens its own ward map. Keep the local government’s name with the ward number when comparing addresses; Kathmandu District and Kathmandu Metropolitan City have different boundaries.

Heritage across the Valley

UNESCO’s Kathmandu Valley property comprises seven monument zones, including Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square, Swayambhu, Bauddhanath and Pashupati, alongside sites in Patan, Bhaktapur and Changu Narayan. The city guide provides a starting point for the metropolitan area; the district map helps you explore beyond it.
