The road to Namo Buddha is pitch now till Tallo Hatiya,Dapcha(Bhimsen Mandir). Further down the road, the place called Dapcha, an old Newari village which was a busy trading center before Arniko highway . To me this village is like a time capsule, a fragment of the past we forgot when we developed better methods of trade and better routes with better equipments. High up in the hills, and with no easy roads leading to it, Dapcha is a forgotten entrepot in an old trade route from Kathmandu to Eastern Nepal. Like other villages high up in the hill, the youth are missing in Dapcha as they have moved to the city pursuit of greener pastures. We were told that Dapcha was a bustling bazaar long time ago & i personally experienced myself when i was a kid , but in the present it has been reduced to a bazaar that has dried up and void of energy, leaving behind only the shadows of a glorious past. The houses in Dapcha still have a medieval Newari structure and designs, are made of mud and brick, and have preserved their purity from the rising modern designs in the cities. The times they are a-changing and as a result Dapcha has become a victim of modern times.
