Pokhara is one part of Kaski
Kaski District contains Pokhara Metropolitan City as well as Annapurna, Machhapuchchhre, Madi and Rupa rural municipalities. A reference to Kaski is therefore not necessarily a reference to Pokhara. When reading a migration account or an older family document, the named village or former local unit matters as much as the district label.
Reading the district census figures
The National Statistics Office counted 600,051 usual residents in Kaski in 2021, compared with 492,098 in 2011. Table 15 lists 160,651 households, an average household size of 3.74, and a population density of 297 people per square kilometre. This district-wide density combines the metropolitan city and rural municipalities, so it does not describe the settlement pattern of any single locality. Nor can a census total identify the origin of a particular surname or family. To connect a family branch to Kaski, compare dated family records with the specific municipality, ward and older place spelling given in each source.
