On the Edge of Jungle
Being a guest at the Bhada Community Homestay in the village of Bhada allows you an up-close glimpse of rural village life on the Western Terai. The local people here are ethnic Tharus, a group that originated in India centuries ago and now has a culture, language, cuisine, and other customs that resemble both hill Nepali and North Indian traditions.
The Bhada Community Homestay is ideally situated between the Bardiya National Park and the Shuklaphanta National Park, prime wildlife-watching areas of Western Nepal that see fewer visitors than the Chitwan National Park. Travellers who try to get out here can experience a landscape and culture that hasn’t been trampled by tourism. Wildlife-spotting activities in the parks are authentic, following local people's paths when navigating the area, and you’re unlikely to see many other tourists.
Homestay Highlights
Indulge in traditional Tharu dishes prepared with local ingredients and time-honoured cooking methods, reflecting their agricultural roots.
