Panchkhal (Nepali: पाँचखाल) is a Municipality in Kavrepalanchok District in the Bagmati Province of central Nepal. Panchkhal has an area of 103 km2 and population density of 345/km2, according to the 2021 Nepal census. Glacial strand retreat and fluvial incision led to develop landscapes and evolve the area having a relief of about 122 to 750 m. At the time of the 2021 Nepal census, it had a population of 35,521 in 9,133 total households. Panchkhal municipality was established in 2016 through the merger of five former Village Development Committees (VDCs): Anaikot, Hokse Bazar, Kharelthok, Koshidekha, and Baluwa. The restructuring was carried out following a decision made in 2014 by the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration. Panchkhal is known for its agricultural productivity and promotes itself with the motto of “पाँचखाल नगर-कृषि शहर (lit. Panchkhal Municipal-Agriculture City)”.
