Nuwakot District (Nepali: नुवाकोट जिल्लाListen), a part of Bagmati Province, is one of the seventy-seven districts of Nepal. The district, with Bidur as its district headquarters, covers an area of 1,121 km2 (433 sq mi) and had a population of 288,478 in 2001 and 277,471 in 2011.[citation needed]

The district contains places of historical significance such as the town of Nuwakot, and the village of Devighat (the death place of Prithvi Narayan Shah) located at the confluence of the Tadi and Trishuli Rivers. Kakani is popular among Nepalese people as a touristic place and picnic spot.[citation needed]

Etymology

The name 'Nuwakot' is composed of two words 'nawa' and 'kort'. Nawa' means nine in Nepali and 'kort' means sacred religious sites on top of hills. Accordingly, the district has nine hills on which various deities are said to dwell and watch over and protect Nuwakot. This has led to Nuwakot often being referred to as the "City of Nine Hills". The Gorkhali king Prithivi Narayan Shah invaded Nuwakot, which was under the rule of Jaya Prakash Malla, and made Nuwakot the capital of his kingdom. [citation needed]
