Some stories behind the naming of Nagarkot

In ancient times, a man used to take off his coat while trying to do some work at that place. But as some other people were looking at that coat, he started his work by saying ‘Nachla coat’. According to the local residents, the name Nagarkot came from the base called Nachalakot by the same person. It is understood that Nagarkot was corrupted from Nachalakot over time.

Similarly, in the western part of Nepal, there is a custom to call the highest part of the hill where Tamang, Magar Basti is located. This place is also called Nagarkot because of the residence of Tamang and because it is at a higher place from the city area. Nagarkot is a combination of two different words. If we look at that word in parts, it is understood that Nagar means city and Kot means high part.

According to another legend, after the victory of Ngarkot in 1801, Prithvi Narayan Shah handed over the control of Nagarkot to the king of Bhaktapur (his brother). Later, Nagarkot was developed as a Kot and there is also a statement that Nagarkot got its name because the city was in the form of a Kot.
