Timure (Nepali: टिमुरे) is a small town and headquarters of ward no. 2 of Gosaikunda Rural Municipality. It is about 19 km north from Syaphru (headquarters of Gosaikunda rural municipality).
Timure was previously a village development committee in Rasuwa District in the Bagmati Zone of northern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 562 people living in 141 individual households.[1] Reconstructions of local level units in Nepal on 10 March 2017[2] made it a part of new Gosaikunda Rural Municipality.
In December 2014, a port of entry between China and Nepal was opened near Rasuwa Fort a few kilometers north of the village.[3] The town was heavily damaged by the 2026 Nepal–Tibet floods.[4] Over 250 buildings were destroyed, with only six homes in the town left standing.[5]
