History
[edit]On March 10, 2017, the Government of Nepal restructured the local level bodies into 753 new local level structures.[3][4] The previous Ramche, small portion of Laharepauwa, Dhaibung and half portion of Bhorle VDCs were merged to form Kalika Rural Municipality. Kalika is divided into 5 wards, with Dhaibung declared the administrative center of the rural municipality.
The municipality was severely impacted by the 2026 Nepal floods, with ward 1 reported as "completely overwhelmed by floodwaters" and 300 people displaced.[5]
