Its eleven wards include the surrounding hill settlements, Phulbari, the Dapcha area and Kanpur–Kalapani. The municipal profile identifies the Roshi as its main river and records Dapcha Khola among the local waterways.

A municipality of several historic areas
The municipal profile distinguishes former Dapcha Kashikhanda municipal wards from the former Kanpur Kalapani and Shyam Pati Simalchaur village areas. Their old numbers differ from the current eleven-ward map. Using a ward number alongside a particular village or temple name makes local addresses easier to follow.
The profile’s heritage inventory includes Buddhist pilgrimage sites, Hindu temples, stupas, ponds and community gathering places across all eleven wards. These guides use those named references to help you choose an area to explore. Check current access and visiting arrangements with the site you plan to visit.
