Perched at a height comparable to Dhoopgarh and nestled within the lush landscapes of Chhindwara district, Dhagadiya—formerly known as Sadar Kamathi—is a 500-year-old village rich in tribal culture and natural beauty. Once ruled by King Mandraji, whose historic mansion still crowns a nearby hill, the village now thrives as a Gond tribal settlement, where 95 of 140 families speak the Gondi language.
Dhagadiya is known for its vibrant "Darsou" wall paintings, showcasing animals and birds on house doors, and its pristine location surrounded by Satpura hills, forests, and medicinal herbs. Its cool climate, panoramic views, and rich biodiversity make it a must-visit for eco-tourists and culture seekers.
