Changunarayan
Changunarayan Municipality (Bhaktapur District, Bagmati Province) is a large hilly municipality on the east side of the Kathmandu Valley. Formed in December 2014 by merging four VDCs (Old-Changunarayan, Chhaling, Duwakot, Jhaukhel), it later absorbed the neighboring Nagarkot area in 2017. Spanning about 62.98 km², Changunarayan is the largest municipality in Bhaktapur District. It is named after and contains the famous Changu Narayan Temple (UNESCO World Heritage Site) – an ancient Hindu temple dating from the 4th century AD – which sits atop a wooded hill. With a 2021 population approaching 88,000, this municipality includes scenic hill towns (including Nagarkot) and rural villages. Changunarayan is renowned for its historical temple, panoramic mountain views, and mixed rural-urban character on the valley’s eastern ridge.
