Waling Municipality (वालिङ नगरपालिका), located in the heart of Syangja, is a town and municipality in the western hilly region of Nepal. It was formed on 24 January 1997 (2053/10/11 BS) by the merging of the then three VDCs, namely Waling, Dhanubase, and Pekhubaaghkhor. Due to the restructuring of the local government as part of the Federal Government System on 10 March 2017 (2073/11/27 BS), the municipality's area was expanded to include Majhakot Shiwalaye VDC, Eladi VDC, Jagat Bhanjyang VDC, Chhangchhangdi VDC (Ward No. 1, 4–6), Malyangkot VDC (Ward No. 4), Tindobate VDC (Ward No. 2-5), Kalikakot VDC (Ward No. 1, 2, 9) Pelakot VDC (Ward No. 5-6), Thumpokhara VDC (Ward No. 13,14) and Sworek VDC (Ward No. 2, 4–8). It is located in the Aadhikhola valley and is bisected by the historic Andhikhola River in Syangja District, Gandaki Province of Nepal. Waling is named the Pink City due to its practice of painting local houses pink. The Government of Nepal has recognized Waling as one of the cities with the potential for future development under the Smart City initiative. Waling received an award for the best municipality of the country and was declared the Clean City of Nepal for the fiscal year 2017 (2073 BS).
