*Masangalli and Bangemudha**
Ward No. 25 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City is primarily known as Masangalli and Bangemudha, formed by merging former Wards No. 27 (Masangalli) and No. 28 (Bangemudha).[1] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward include Makhan Tole.[2]
This residential and cultural area in central Kathmandu features traditional Newari temples and sites such as Shivalingam and Nhyepu Nani in Makhan Tole, reflecting its historical heritage from the Kathmandu Valley’s temple circuits.[1][2] It is characterized by local toles with religious landmarks, contributing to the dense urban fabric near key city hubs, though less touristy than areas like Thamel.[1]
