*Balambu**
Ward No. 12 of Chandragiri Municipality is primarily known as Balambu, the main neighborhood and former Village Development Committee (VDC) whose wards 1-9 were incorporated into the municipality.[3][2][6] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not distinctly listed in available sources, but it forms part of the broader Balambu area.[3]
Balambu serves as a key administrative hub for Chandragiri Municipality, hosting the urban administration offices and e-BPS team contacts.[2][5][6] It is characterized by community facilities like educational institutions (Ward 12 has the highest number at 15) and a livestock service center, situated along the Prithvi Highway as a southwestern gateway to Kathmandu Valley.[1][7][4] Notable landmarks include local temples and its historical ties to the former Balambu VDC, though no specific prominent sites like Chandragiri Hill (elsewhere in the municipality) are highlighted here.[3][5]
