*Dhapakhel**
Ward No. 24 of Lalitpur Metropolitan City (formerly Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City) is primarily known as the northern part of Dhapakhel, originating from the former Dhapakhel Village Development Committee (VDC) incorporated into the municipality since 2017, encompassing Wards 23-25.[1] Other neighborhoods or toles within this ward are not distinctly listed in available sources, but it forms part of the broader Dhapakhel area.[1] Dhapakhel is recognized for its historical VDC roots, with the suffix “-khel” meaning “acre” or “field” in Nepali, and features temples and sightseeing spots typical of Kathmandu Valley outskirts; it lies in Lalitpur District, Bagmati Province, as a semi-urban extension of the valley.[1]
