Kathekhola Rural Municipality (Kathekhola Gaupalika) (Nepali: काठेखोला गाउँपालिका) is a Gaunpalika in Baglung District in Gandaki Province of Nepal. On 12 March 2017, the government of Nepal implemented a new local administrative structure, in which VDCs have been replaced with municipal and Village Councils. Kathekhola is one of these 753 local units.[3][4] It is named after the Kathekhola River, a geographical trademark of this rural municipality. Madhyapahari Lokmarg passes through the central part of this rural municipality and is also close to Baglung district headquarters.
