The Tharus, indigenous to Nepal’s Terai and inner Terai regions, are creative people who integrate art into daily life, from home design to cuisine. Nawalpur is home to Tharu, Magar, Brahmin, and Thakuri communities. Unnati Cultural Village (UCV) celebrates and preserves Nawalpur’s rich Tharu culture.
“Gaam” means village in the Tharu language. Tharu Gaam offers visitors an immersive cultural experience through cuisine, art, and artifacts that reflect the Tharu way of life. It serves as a living museum showcasing traditional practices, festivals, stories, customs, and cuisine.
