Mandagucha is a village located in Siran Valley, Mansehra District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
The village is on the route to one of the highest hilltops of the Himalaya series in Pakistan, Musa ka Musalla (13,500 feet above sea level), and has a cool climate.
The major clans and casts are Gujjars, Syeds, Sawatis, Awans and Qureshis (Kotwals),Toda.
This conflict was an outcome of years-long suppression of Gujjar clans by the land owner Sawatis.
A Left-inclined Kisan Mahaz (Farmer Front) motivated the Gujjers to stand against oppressive landlords.
