*Khadka Bhadrakali**
Ward No. 6 of Budhanilkantha Municipality is primarily known as Khadka Bhadrakali, the main neighborhood name derived from the former Village Development Committee (VDC) that was merged into the municipality in 2014.[1][2][4] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward include parts of the original seven settlements of the Khadka Bhadrakali VDC, though specific sub-toles for Ward 6 alone are not detailed beyond its association with the northern section (formerly Wards 1-5 of the VDC).[1]
This ward is characterized as the northern part of the former Khadka Bhadrakali VDC, located at the foot of Shivapuri Hill in the northern Kathmandu Valley, contributing to Budhanilkantha’s rapid urbanization and residential growth.[1][2][5] It features traditional settlements and is near notable landmarks like the Budhanilkantha Temple (in adjacent Ward 1), with a focus on community areas rather than major tourist sites.[1][3] The area supports local infrastructure development, including ongoing GIS mapping and house numbering initiatives.[5]
