*Dahachowk (also spelled Dahachok)**
Ward No. 1 of Chandragiri Municipality is primarily known as Dahachowk, corresponding to the former Dahachowk VDC (Village Development Committee) merged during the municipality’s formation in 2014[1][2][3][4]. It encompasses the historical area of the old Dahachowk Gaun Sabha (village council), with no other major neighborhoods or toles distinctly named in available records beyond its core Dahachowk identity; census data notes Chandragiri wards collectively have multiple toles, but specifics for Ward 1 are not detailed[5].
Dahachowk is a peri-urban ward in the southwest fringes of Kathmandu Valley, serving as part of the municipality’s rural gateway areas along routes like the Prithivi Highway[2][6]. It features hilly terrain typical of Chandragiri’s outskirts, with limited noted landmarks but known for its integration into the area’s administrative and cultural landscape post-merger of former VDCs[1][4]. The ward supports local communities in a transitioning urban-rural setting, contributing to Chandragiri’s role as a key entry point to Kathmandu[2].
