Tokha is an eleven-ward municipality in Kathmandu District, bringing together Jhor Mahankal, the old Tokha town, Dhapasi and parts of the Gongabu area. The municipal introduction places Budhanilakantha to the east, Tarakeshwor to the west, Nuwakot to the north and Kathmandu Metropolitan City to the south.

Jhor and the old town

Jhor Mahankal, Ward 1, is the starting guide for Baudeshwor Mahadev and Jhor’s waterfalls. Tokha Chandeshwari, Ward 2, covers the Chandeshwori and Sapantirtha references, while Tokha Saraswati, Ward 3, includes Bhutkhel and Masankali.

The municipality identifies Wards 2 and 3 with its historic town and chaku-making tradition. Its English introduction describes chaku as a sweet made from sugarcane juice. The ward guides help distinguish that old-town context from the larger modern municipality.

Find the right Dhapasi or Gongabu ward

Dhapasi appears in several ward addresses. Compare Ward 4, Ward 5, Hattichok, Ward 6, and Tilingatar, Ward 7. Their municipal office references offer more specific names within the broader area.

Continue with Jalupa, Ward 8, Gongabu, Ward 9, Gongabu Ganeshthan, Ward 10, and Baniyatar, Ward 11. The municipal programme identifies a bridge at Manohar Tirth connecting Wards 8 and 11.

Use the municipality map to choose a ward, then follow its source links for the documented place and office references.
