The shepherd was so overjoyed in finding this greener and abundant village in comparison to otherwise brown barren fields and mountains that he decided to make this place his home and invited his friends and family to join him here and start living here. This is how the village came to be what it is today and the name of the village, was also named after the lost yak ‘Demo’.
