*Aalapot**
Ward No. 2 of Kageshwori Manohara Municipality is primarily known as Aalapot, the main area name derived from its former Village Development Committee (VDC).[1][2][4][6][7] It was formed by merging former Aalapot VDC wards 3 and 15, with approximately 752 households.[2][7]
Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not explicitly detailed in available sources, but the area is referenced holistically as Aalapot (encompassing former wards 1-9 of the VDC).[4]
Aalapot is a residential area in the northeastern Kathmandu Valley, characterized by its rural-urban transition with community housing and beneficiary support programs like shelter reconstruction.[6] It features typical Newar-Tamang settlements common to the municipality and is near landmarks such as the historic Kageshwori Mahadev Temple in adjacent Gagalphedi, though no specific landmarks are uniquely tied to Ward 2.[1][2] The ward contributes to the municipality’s growing population density of about 4,700/km².[1]
