The 2021 census recorded 845,767 residents in 105,649 households within the city. Far more people live across the surrounding valley and its connected urban area.

Kathmandu's central roads form a dense, irregular network rather than a uniform grid. Larger cross-valley routes cut through clusters of short streets around the old center.

Within three kilometres of the coordinates, dense central streets meet the main cross-city roads. The contrast between those broad routes and the smaller lanes defines the map.

A muted clay street color fits the valley setting. Separate cross-valley routes with a darker weight so they remain visible through the crowded central lanes.
