Travel Guide Daman

Take a 3-hour drive from Kathmandu. Located 80 km from the capital, Daman (perched at 2 322 m) boasts the most spectacular view of the entire Himalayan chain from the Dhaulagiri to the east. An excursion to Daman would not be complete without a visit to the temple of Rikeswar, dedicated to Mahadev and near which there is a cave of Guru Rinpoche (Chumi Jangchub). After Daman, the Tribhuvan Rajpath crosses the pass of Sim Bhanjyang (2 488 m) before going down, with a dramatic zigzagging, through a forest sur over a difference of more than 2 000 m. Amateurs of unseen places or mountain biking can take a detour by Bhimphedi, the old stage where the brand-name travellers were worn on the mountain to cross the mountains separating the plain of the plaine. the Kathmandu Valley.
