Guided
Village Tour
The last
remaining Tharu settlement inside the
boundary of the park is well worth a visit. An
ox-cart can take you or you can walk the 6km. through the
park area. The Tharu are the indigenous people of the Chitwan valley.
Prior to the USAID sponsored malaria eradication campaign in the
fifties, for twelve hundred years they were the only people able
to live in the heavily forested Terai belt, due to their resistance
to malaria. Their way of life differs widely from that of the immigrants
from the hills and remains the same today as it was hundred years
ago. The village are going to be relocated in the coming years due
to increasing pressure from UNESCO and WWF, as Royal
Chitwan National Park has now been declared a world nature
heritage side.
Duration: 3 hours
