*Duwakot and Jhaukhel**
Ward No. 2 of Changunarayan Municipality is primarily known as the Duwakot and Jhaukhel area, encompassing the eastern part of the former Duwakot VDC (wards 1, 2, and 3) and the southern part of the former Jhaukhel VDC (ward 8).[1][2] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not explicitly listed in available sources, though the municipality overall includes traditional toles associated with its former VDCs.[8]
This rural ward, with a population of 10,284 (5,243 male, 5,035 female, 6 other) across 3,984 households and covering 4.63 sq km, is characterized by agriculture and animal husbandry as primary economic activities, with residents including Janajati, Brahmin, Chhetri, and Dalit communities.[2] It features a mix of residential settlements in a hilly part of the Kathmandu Valley urban agglomeration, near the UNESCO World Heritage Site Changu Narayan Temple, though the temple itself is in a different ward of the municipality.[4]
