Damauli,

Damauli, today Byas Municipality, is the headquarters of Tanahu District in the Gandaki Zone of Western Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 18,099 people residing in 3604 individual households.It's one of the well planned towns in Nepal.The beautiful town is growing fast to be one of the major cities in the country. Majority of the population are engaged in some kind of business.It is easily recognizable because it is located on the confluence of two major rivers the Madi and the Seti. A lot of tourists come here for rafting in the Madi river The Manung hill is another important geographical landmark overlooking the Town..This place has lot of natural beauty. It has green forests and clean river flowing. Besides this recreational aspects, people visit Damauli because of religious aspect too. Damauli is the birth place of Vedvyas who is the writer of veds and purans. I suggest everybody to visit Damauli who really want to feel and experience the real beauty of nature. Vyas cave is historically important because it is believed that Vyas rishi lived over here.

Damauli is the headquarter of Tanahu district. It is historically and culturally rich place. Politically also, Tanahun comes forward. Its considered to by some people to be the birth place of Vyas from which it got the name Vyas Nagarpalika. The confluence of Madi and Seti river is worth visiting. The weather is not so good. It has very hot summer and chilly winters. Accommodation and food is easy to find and is not expensive.
