Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) serves as the administrative backbone of Nepal’s capital, spanning 49.45 km² and governing over 862,400 residents through 32 wards. Established as a metropolis in 1995, KMC is guided by an elected council and performs multifaceted functions—from education and healthcare to local law-making—underpinned by Nepal’s federal constitution. Its residents enjoy a remarkable literacy rate of 96.6%, earning KMC the title of a "literate metropolis." Beyond governance, Kathmandu is a cultural treasure trove, blending medieval architecture and religious heritage—home to iconic UNESCO monuments, sacred temples, and centuries-old palaces that stand testament to its historical and urban significance.
