Kaski District encompasses 2,017 square kilometers of land, stretching from lowland plains at 450 meters to mountain peaks reaching 8,091 meters in elevation.

The district derives its name from the ancient Kaski Kingdom, with Batulechaur serving as the capital during the early nineteenth century before administrative changes.

The district hosts communities speaking 44 different languages and representing 84 distinct ethnic groups, including substantial populations of Hill Brahmins, Gurungs, and Chhetris.

The district headquarters in Pokhara connects to major Nepalese cities through established road networks, facilitating transportation for residents and visitors.

The northern section contains the southern slopes of the Annapurna range, featuring Machhapuchhre peak at 6,993 meters, which remains officially unclimbed.
