Madhyapur Thimi, also called Thimi, is a municipality in Bhaktapur District of central Nepal that lies in the Kathmandu Valley between Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur. It covers 11.47 square kilometres in nine wards and is an ancient Newar town on the old trade route from Bhaktapur to Kathmandu. The 2011 census counted 83,036 people. A very regular grid of city blocks has led researchers to compare its layout with Indus Valley cities such as Mohenjo-daro. The town is known for its pottery, for the Balkumari temple, Thimi Durbar and the Bisket Jatra new year festival, in which 32 chariots are carried through the streets, and for masked Bhairab dances. The mayor elected in 2022 is Surendra Shrestha.
