Tharu Village Visit
Learn about local life and communities around Chitwan.
Tradition has it that the Tharus of Nepal came all the way from Rajasthan, driven out by fear when the Moghuls invaded India. These colourful, fun-loving and extremely hospitable people offer a peek into their lives at the Bhada Homestay Village, where you can tour the village by bullock cart and eat local delicacies while enjoying a cultural show.
Meet the cultural landscape
A guided village visit can introduce you to the relationship between local communities and the surrounding landscape.
Visit considerately
Please ask before photographing people or entering private spaces, and check what the visit includes and how much time you’ll have.
Good to know
On most of our packages, the village visit takes place on the afternoon you arrive, together with the elephant breeding centre, and it pairs nicely with the Tharu cultural show that evening. The Tharu people are indigenous to the Terai, Nepal's southern lowlands. If you'd like to learn more, we can also include a visit to the Tharu Culture Museum.
