There is a beautiful Gurung village in the southern part of Kahun hill and the rest is covered with dense forest.[2]
Buddha Statue
Recently an organization called Dharmakaya Buddha Mandala Development and Management committee has launched a new project in Kauhn. The organization is constructing a big Buddha statue in Kahun Danda to promote tourism.[3]
This huge Buddha Mandala is a five-year plan. The state government has given a grant of Rs 4 million at the rate of Rs 2 million to Rs 2 million in the last two fiscal years. Prem Lama, a member of the Dharmakaya Buddha Mandala Development and Management Committee, said, “The remaining 20 million rupees has been spent on the retaining wall with the remaining 2 million rupees from the state government.” He said that Rs. 3.2 million has been allocated in partnership from Pokhara Metropolitan City.[4]
