Daman, Nepal

Daman (Nepali: दामन) is one of the most beautiful tourist attraction in Thaha Municipality, Makwanpur District in Bagmati Province, central Nepal.

It lies on the Tribhuvan Highway, about 77 kilometres (48 mi) southwest of Kathmandu (about halfway to Hetauda) at an elevation of 2,322 metres (7,620 ft).

Daman has among the greatest views of the Himalayas, extending on a good day from Dhaulagiri in the west to Mount Everest in the east.

It is said that when Lord Shiva was mourning and lamenting, carrying dead body of his beloved wife Satidevi, he rested here.

It can be visited just as a one-day trip or stay a few more days, taking some deep breaths from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
