Solududhkunda

Solududhkunda, formerly Dudhkunda, is the only municipality of Solukhumbu District in Koshi Province of Nepal, and the town of Salleri inside it is the district headquarters. It was formed in 2014 by merging four village development committees, Salleri, Garma, Loding Tamakhani and Beni, and was first divided into nine wards. In March 2017 four more committees, Takasindu, Kerung, Gorakhani and Tapting, were added, and Tingla joined on 26 February 2018, bringing the area to 565.06 square kilometres and the population to 24,323 people. The name joins Solu, a river of the region, with Dudhkunda, a lake east of that river. Phaplu Airport lies in the northern part of the municipality.
