Dhanpur is a very small village near Nadaun, Himachal Pradesh, India, with a population of around 200 people. It is located on the top of a small hill. The village has a historical temple, and there is evidence of some sort of fort or palace in the area. The location of village is good and has a pleasant climate.

The literacy level is about 99.9%. Most of the people are from working class.

The importance of this village lies in having evidence of historical palace or fort.

The village is attempting to get India's Archaeological Department to have a look. The villagers found one buried sword near the temple while doing renovation work. The sword was sent to a museum, but still there is no progress in the way of revealing the history of village. While the Public Health department was working for digging water tank, a number of items were found - a small clay artefact, iron to make the small artefact and ash about 16 feet underground.

Today anyone can have a look at the lime-made remains of the boundary wall and other some remains of the underground palace.
