Kirtipur, Ancient Newar municipality in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal.
The city stretches across a ridge at 1284 to 1524 meters above sea level, featuring traditional red-brick houses with tiled roofs along paved streets.
King Prithvi Narayan Shah captured Kirtipur in 1767 after three attempts, marking a turning point in the unification campaign of Nepal.
The Bagh Bhairab Temple displays historical Gurkha weapons and contains a clay statue of Lord Shiva adorned with a silver mask.
Tribhuvan University campus occupies the foothills of Kirtipur, making the area a center for academic activities and student accommodation.
The city earned recognition for its resistance during the 2006 demonstrations, reflecting its historical opposition to monarchical rule.
