Traditional Tharu tribal dance performance in Chitwan

The Tharu, the indigenous people of Chitwan, bring the evening to life with traditional dance and music. Dancers in bright costumes form a circle to drum rhythms, and sometimes the audience joins in. After a jungle safari, it is a warm setting for getting to know local culture.

Insect repellent and a light cardigan help in the evening. It is polite to ask before taking photographs. If you are invited to dance, watch the steps first. It is also engaging for small children.
