Chhaling (Nepali: छालिङ) is a village and former Village Development Committee that is now part (Ward-5) of Changunarayan Municipality in Bagmati Pradesh of central Nepal. At the time of the 2021 Nepal census it had a population of 9,254.[1] It is situated at about a distance of 20 kilometers from the capital city of Kathmandu.

The name "Chhaling" is believed to be derived from two words: "छाले गाउँ" ("Chhala"), meaning "Skin", and "Gaun", meaning "Village", as it was believed to be an area of animal skin and leather materials during the 18th century.[citation needed]. [citation needed]

During the ancient Kirat and Lichhavi Gynasties, Chhaling was known as Gopal dranga under king Prathav Malla of Bishal Nagar.[citation needed] Chhaling has been a major route to one of the most popular tourist destinations near Kathmandu: Nagarkot.

Most of the inhabitants are Newar, Brahmins and Chhetris, Tamang, but there is also a large population of "Sanyasi" (meaning "saints" or "sages"). There is also a small population of Mongolians who live at the top of a hill in Chhaling

There are also a number of popular religious destinations, such as Panchamukhe Hanuman (also called Trisuldada), where the biggest copper trident in the world is believed to be located. Mahalaxmi Temple, Machhendranath and Manakamana Temple Panchamahalaxhmi Temple, Ganesh Templa and Om Shanti are also quite popular among the locals.

Chhaling is home to numerous villages, including Thapagaun, Gokulgaun, Tāmāṅgāũ, Dihigaun, Bhajubhairav, Mulakot, Bangaun, and Bhusundol.
