*Chhetrapati**
Ward No. 17 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City is primarily known as Chhetrapati, also referred to as क्षेत्रपाटी (Kshetrapati) in official Nepali listings on the municipal website.[1][3] Other neighborhoods or toles within the ward include Dhobichaur, Kusale Chaur, Indrayani Temple Area, Kwa Bahal, Thahiti Tole, and areas along Swayambhu Marg.[1][5]
This ward features historic sites such as stairways and temples, the Peepal Tree shrine, small shrines, and Kwa Bahal, contributing to its cultural heritage in central Kathmandu near tourist hubs like Thamel (in adjacent Ward 16).[1][6] It is bordered by Ward 16 to the north and includes the Ward No. 17 Office on Yapikhya Marg, blending traditional toles with urban proximity.[2]
