Dapcha Chhatrebangh

Dapcha Chatrebangh, or Dapcha, is a village near Mount Gaurishankar in Namobuddha Municipality in Kavrepalanchok District in Bagmati Province of central Nepal, about 15 kilometres southeast of the district headquarters of Dhulikhel. It is a ridgetop settlement, and was previously on the trade route that led to Kathmandu.

The village has forty-five historic wooden and brick buildings. The local culture is historically Newar. The village has been identified as a possible future tourist destination.

The village is part of the Kavrepalanchok District "grain basket". The roads are good, and connect to the BP Highway.

Residents are reliant on springs for water. These have been drying up, causing water shortages and resulting in people moving away from the area. This creates further problems of labour shortage. In 2013, a research project started to map springs and to try to stop them drying up. There is a nearby river, the Dapcha Khola.

The village has a health post. This includes a laboratory. There is a secondary school in the village, Dapcha Secondary School.

The eighteenth-century ruler Prithvi Narayan Shah ordered a fort to be built at Dapcha.

In March 2006, during the Nepalese Civil War, thirteen Royal Nepali Army soldiers were killed in the area by soldiers from the People's Liberation Army.

Most of the villagers are Hindu or Buddhist, but there are some Christian and Muslim families. There is a shrine at Namobuddha near the village, where Shakyamuni Buddha is worshipped. In the village are three temples to Bhimsen, and one to Kalika Devi. The villagers hold jatras, including one in honour of Krishna Janmasthami.
