Manung Kot or The Manung Danda, situated in Vyas-5, Damauli, Tanahun is an all-season wonder. Manung amazes anyone who dares to conquer it irrespective of season and time. Majestic Sunrise, floating foggy dense cloud in the morning; panoramic view of Snow Capped Mountains and hills in the day; and glowing view of Damauli and surrounding valleys at night.

Manung Danda In The Morning

Early in the morning, Manung Dada seems to be afloat as it gets covered by a white foggy dense cloud. There’s a myth that this dense floating fog was created by Maharishi Parashar to hide his love relation with Satyawati, who later married him to give birth to Ved Vyas. Hence, Damauli is also the Birthplace of Ved Vyas.

You can’t help yourself but feel like you’re somewhere close to heaven. The biggest attraction to Manung is undoubtedly the sunrise. It’s stunning, in fact, beyond words. So, sorry, I won’t be able to explain that in words, you got to see it yourself.

Manung Kot During Daytime

When the sky gets clear during mid-day, the astonishing view of mountain ranges including Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Manaslu, Mt. Lamjung, Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Machhapuchhre, Mt Himchuli, and more small mountains can be seen from Manung. You can also capture the birds-eye view of Damauli Bazar, Madi-Seti River, Sangey, Gunadi and other surrounding areas.
