In the area of Ichchakamana rural municipality-5, there is an old settlement of the Gurung community, where lies a potential tourism area, Pam Danda, Chitwan. From here you can see a beautiful view of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Ganesh and other glaciers. The place can be reached after a journey of eight kilometers from Muglin Bazar via Tamin. Bolero jeeps operate daily to reach there from Muglin, but you can also reach there by motorbike. Lots of oranges are blooming here at the moment. This has also made the scene here more charming.
Plans have been made to operate a Gurung community homestay in Pamdanda as well. Most of the people residing here are Gurungs. From Pam Danda one can reach the nearby Chepang Basti and get information about the lifestyle there.
According to Tara Gurung, ward member of Ichchakamana Rural Municipality-5, “The place with a lot of potential has been overshadowed due to lack of publicity. Along with the attractive view of the snow range, from here you can see the dense fog like silk, like the wings of a Simal, when you look at the Trishuli river from the Pam hill. THe place also has a great caliberity to be a place to see sunrise and sunset.
Yan Bahadur Gurung, a principal of National Basic School Pam Danda, said “Ichchakamana Temple can be reached in a three kilometer journey from here. One can see Ichchakamana temple along with Chimkeshwari of Tanahun and Manakamana temple of Gorkha from Pam Danda.”
“There is a homestay in Sathymure near Pam Danda. To reach here, a homestay has been arranged to accommodate 15-20 guests.” adds Yan Bahadur Gurung.
Chairman of Ichchakamana Rural Municipality, Dan Bahadur Gurung stated, “The rural municipality will prioritise the development of tourism in Pam Danda. There is a plan to develop tourism in Pam Danda by upgrading the road and connecting it with Ichchakamana temple.” _RSS
