an altitude of about 2,400 meters. Daman is located on
the Tribhuvan Highway between Kathmandu and the town of
Birgunj For a view of the world's highest peak extending
in one glittering arc from the far west of Dhaulagiri to
the far east of Sagarmatha (Mt. Everest), there is no
better place than Daman. Other peaks that are visible
from Daman are Annapurna III (7,555m), Phurbi Chyachu
(6,637m), Choba Bhamre (6,016m), and Gaurishanker (7,
