Abstract
Dadgaliya is a picturesque and quaint village located in the Tehsil of Ranikhet. It falls under the Almora district of Uttarakhand. We travelled to Dadgaliya from Delhi via road covering a distance of 362km. It is a few kilometres away from the Ranikhet Army Cantonment which is home to the Kumaon and the Naga regiment.. Dadgaliya is situated 34.7km away from its district head quarter Almora. Bageshwar, Nainital and Bijnor are some of the districts neighbouring Almora.
The people of Dadgaliya are Kumaonis and predominantly from the Adhikari, Bhisht, Negi and Rawat communities. Most of the population has Hindu religious sentiments. Scheduled casts form a large section of the population. The natives live on the slopes of the mountains 13 and most of the cultivation is also carried out on these slopes. Their homes are usually built of stone and mud with some exceptions of brick and mortar.
