*Boudha (also spelled Bauddha)**
- Ward No. 6 of Kathmandu Metropolitan City is primarily known as Boudha, a densely populated area recognized across multiple official and local sources.[1][2][3][6]
-
Primarily encompasses the core Boudha area, including zones around Boudha Stupa (Bodnath Monument Zone), Bauddha Ward Office vicinity, and adjacent toles like those near Peepal Tree and Baudha Peepal Boar shrines; it borders areas in neighboring municipalities such as Kageshwori Manohara and Gokarneshwor but remains distinctly Boudha-focused.[3][6]
*Boudha** is renowned for the iconic Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal and a major Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage site attracting monks, nuns, and international visitors. The ward features a vibrant mix of monasteries, prayer wheels, and thangka shops, characteristic of its strong Newari and Tibetan cultural influences in the Kathmandu Valley. It serves as a bustling residential and commercial hub with high population density.[1][3]
