Daba[1] (Tibetan: མདའ་པ, Wylie: mda' pa; Chinese: 达巴乡; pinyin: Dábā Xiāng) or Danbab[2] (Tibetan: མདའ་འབབ་ཤང, Wylie: mda' 'bab shang, ZYPY: Danbab Xang) is a township under the administration of Zanda County in the Tibet region of China, centred at the Daba village.

[8] British explorer William Moorcroft travelled to Daba in 1812, via the Niti Pass and then proceeded to Gartok after receiving permission to do so.

[9] The surveyor of Garhwal and Kumaon, W. J. Webb, met traders from Daba while surveying the vicinity of the Niti Pass in 1819.

He offered to establish a trade mart for Daba traders on the Indian side but was told that it required a permission from the "viceroy of Lhasa".

During 17th century, Fateh Shah of Garhwal invaded Tibet, where his sword and armour were preserved in the monastery at Daba for a long time.
