*Pallo Kirtipur** (or Upper Kirtipur) is the primary neighborhood/area name for Ward No. 10 of Kirtipur Municipality.[1]
This ward, formed in 2017 by merging former Wards 3 and 4, encompasses settlements adjacent to Tribhuvan University (TU), a major landmark that defines the area as a hub for students, professors, and academics renting homes, boosting the local economy.[1][3] It features traditional Newar toles (neighborhoods) with characteristics of Kirtipur’s ancient heritage, including proximity to cultural sites like temples and gumbas amid the hilly terrain near Champadevi Hill.[3] Other toles or sub-areas within the ward include parts of Nagbahal, Indrapuri, and university-adjacent settlements historically under former Ward 3.[1]
