DAADAGAON - The hilltop village

Daadagaon, also known by the name of the mountain village, is a small village situated high above the Kathmandu Valley in Shivapuri National Park. Mostly inhabited by the Tamang community, this little place never fails to impress the visitors with its stupendous views and breezy atmosphere. Although there are some ruins of the earthquake here even today as families continue to live in the temporary tin sheds and incomplete mud-brick houses, you'll observe how the people here are socially knit together living a life of simplicity! In fact, most of the people here are involved in small-scale agriculture. With that being said, this small village is also known for its famous barley and millet wine- a local wine that's traditionally made by the people there! A sip of the freshly prepared local wine and the feels of the breezy air flowing through your cheeks- what a perfect way to get refreshed! But wait, what if you're craving for non-alcoholic drinks and some good food? Well, Daadagaun has a few lodges (two in number and a few under construction at the moment) that serves you with mouth-watering meal and drinks to tackle your hunger and enjoy the splendid views. Also, note that you will have to feed your growling stomach in Daadagaon itself because you will not find lodges ahead until you reach Narayanthan. So better gobble up your food here and get ready for the interesting trail that lays ahead!
