The oldest area of the town lies on the southern end. It is an assembly of old Newari houses, often occupied by 20 or more members of the local extended families. Their most valuable assets are the beautifully carved windows and doors. those are the fine examples of traditional Newari craftsmanship. The old town is made up of four toles called wotole, etole, dutole , chochhe tole .

The narrow streets are typical example of a medieval city inhabited since fifth centuries. The plan of the city is based on ancient Hindu planning doctrine with the position, shape, scale & dominance between buildings, temples, public squares all having their own meaning and harmony.

One of such old settlements is Shreekhandpur, which lies 2 km west from the Kathmandu University.  And it is also a centuries-old Newari and Magar settlement.
