*Chapali Bhadrakali**
Ward No. 1 of Budhanilkantha Municipality is primarily known as Chapali Bhadrakali, a key neighborhood area at the foot of Shivapuri hill, encompassing the former Chapali Bhadrakali VDC merged into the municipality.[3][6] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward include areas around Golfutar and Hattigauda proximity, though specific sub-toles are not detailed in available sources.[4]
This ward is renowned for its proximity to the sacred Budhanilkantha Temple (about 2 km away), dedicated to Lord Vishnu with the largest stone statue of reclining Vishnu in Nepal, drawing Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims.[1] It features luxury resorts like Lemon Tree Premier and Holiday Inn Resort Kathmandu Budhanilkantha, set in a suburban Himalayan foothill environment near Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park, known for wildlife and as a gateway to northern Kathmandu attractions.[1][6] The area offers a mix of religious significance, modern hospitality, and natural surroundings, stretching toward park borders with leopards, monkeys, and birds.[1]
