Introduction of Dangaura Tharus

For the last one hundred years peoples around the world have been fascinated by Nepal because of its magnificent mountains, towering Himalayas closed off from the outside world by its potentates; this kingdom lived in secluded splendor until the 1950s when its door was officially opened to the outside world.

Nepal is a country famous for its mountains all over the world but in truth the majority of people live far away from the romantic idealic Nepal’s lap of snowcapped peaks. Beyond the foot tales of Himalayas lies the congestive plain called Terai. The isolation of the Tharu in the Terai was even more complete; living in villages located in malaria-infested jungles of the Gang etic plains & Tharus rarely encountered outsiders. Over the long period they developed a unique culture free from influence of adjacent India or free from the mountains group of Nepal .

Here the climate is hot & people are dark. Here people cultivate what is known as bread basket of Nepal. Among various people who farm these land, Tharus  are credited with being the oldest saplings who cultivated the Terai from the dense malaria infested jungle into prime farm land. The Tharu settlement expands across the southern belt of Nepal in Mid-western Nepal in Dang Valley live the Dangaura Tharu.
