Budhanilkantha
Budhanilkantha Municipality (Kathmandu District, Bagmati Province) is an urban municipality in the Kathmandu Valley. Established in 2014 by merging several village development committees, it covers about 67.45 km² and lies at the foot of the Shivapuri Hills. With roughly 179,700 people as of 2021, it is the valley’s third-largest city (after Kathmandu and Lalitpur). The municipality is named for the famous Budhanilkantha Temple – a large open-air shrine with a reclining stone statue of Lord Vishnu – which is a major cultural and religious landmark. Budhanilkantha combines suburban neighborhoods, forested hillsides, and sacred sites, making it both a residential area and a pilgrimage destination in the Kathmandu region.
