Nagdaha — Attraction in Lalitpur Metropolitan City

Its a nice place to visit. It is more 'natural' than Taudaha and nature lovers will love this place. This place is not as popular as Taudaha only because people are unaware about this place. Unlike Taudaha, this place doesn't have big and colorful fishes, which is actually a good thing as these big and colorful fishes are non-native species. And that's why we can see native species of fishes in Nagdaha. Non-native species destroy the ecosystem, the native plant and animal species. The only good thing the non native carps are doing at Taudaha is growing business and income of the people. The people are even eradicating the native catfishes. If you care about the native species, if you prefer quiet areas, if you really want to enjoy nature, you should definitely check...

Very underrated place inside valley.Been there first time but I absolutely loved this place.This small and beautiful pond full of lotus flowers is situated around dhapakhel village just 4-6km drive away from main ring road.Nagdaha have few things to offer but it got an amazing beauty and calmness.You can do a boat ride or just seat at the Chautari with chill beer and enjoy the view and fresh air.Village around dhapakhel is beautiful and nagdaha is definitely a place to visit.Not a fancy one like taudaha but very underrated.Just need more promotion and advertisement👍.Recommended for everyone.plz visit once if you live in ktm or if you go around dhapakhel or godawori.Additional info—you can visit santaneswor mahadev...

It is said that he stays with the female serpent of Nagdaha on his way to and back from Panauti. This union of the nagas, mythical half serpent, half human beings, is followed...
