Daughtry is a district in the Mid-Western Development Region of Nepal, located about 200 kilometers west of the capital city of Kathmandu and adjacent to the Indian border. Named after the Daughtry River, the region's terrain is dominated by hills and lowland plains, and the climate is mild and humid, making it suitable for agriculture, with the main crops including rice, wheat and maize. Daughtry is one of the important cultural and economic hubs of Nepal, with a predominantly Nepali-speaking population, mostly Hindu and Buddhist, and vibrant celebrations of traditional festivals such as Desai and the Festival of Lights.
Daughtry's economy is based on agriculture and small-scale trade, and in recent years tourism has gradually developed, attracting tourists to explore its natural beauty and rural culture. In terms of transportation, the area is connected by road to Kathmandu and the Indian border towns, but the infrastructure is relatively simple and travel is dependent on buses or local vehicles. Daughtry lacks large-scale industry, and residents tend to engage in subsistence farming or cross-border small businesses, leading a slow and traditional pace of life.
Dhotri is rich in natural beauty, such as green valleys and bird habitats along the Dhotri River, making it suitable for eco-tourism and trekking. The local culture retains its rural Nepalese character and visitors can experience handicraft making and traditional food. Though less developed, Daughtry's tranquil environment and friendly community offer a unique experience for travelers seeking an authentic trip.
