याङ्जाकोट
याङ्जाकोट सुन्दर पहाडी बस्ती हो । मादी गाउँपालिका–३, कास्कीका चार गाउँहरू डाँडागाउँ, देउराली, गैरीगाउँ र छापा गाउँलाई समग्रमा याङ्जाकोट (१४७५ मिटर) भनिन्छ । यहाँ गुरुङ, विक, परियार र क्षेत्रीका ३५० घर छन् ।

याङ्जाकोट गुरुङ जातिको प्राचीन बस्ती । ऐतिहासिक थलो क्होंलसोंथरबाट गुरुङहरू बसाई सर्दै तल झरेपछि याङ्जाकोटमा बसे । तिनताका १ सय २० घरधुरीको बस्ती बसालिएको थियो । त्यसैले आसपासका गाउँलेहरू याङ्जाकोटलाई ६ बीसका नामबाट चिन्दथे ।
गुरुङ भाषामा योजक्वै अथवा यौंउजु नासा भनिए पनि खसकरण गरिएपछि गाउँलाई याङ्जाकोट भन्न थालियो । राम्रो उत्पादन हुने भएकाले यसलाई अन्न भण्डार मानिन्छ ।
गाउँमा वि.सं. २०६८ देखि होमस्टे शुभारम्भ गरिएको हो । अहिले गुरुङका १० घरमा १५० बेड सुविधा छ । होमस्टेमा मिठो खाना र आत्मीय व्यवहार पाइन्छ । पाहुनाको मागअनुसार साँझ कृष्णचरित्र, सोरठी, घाटु र पञ्चै बाजाको स्वाद चखाइन्छ ।
