Pakhribas Municipality
When the Government of Nepal decided to reduce the local level body in 753 units, all previous VDCs nullified and merged with existing municipalities (some instead created new municipalities), so Chungmang VDC merged with Pakhribas on 10 March 2017.
The total area of the municipality is 144.29 square kilometres (55.71 sq mi) and the total population of the municipality is 22,078 as of the 2011 Nepal census. The municipality is divided into a total of 10 wards.
