A glimpse of Terai

11/19/2016

0 Comments

 

We filmed this video after a few hard days of work in Sarlahi district, which is in Southeast of Kathmandu. While Nepal is known for high mountains, ~50% of the Nepali population lives in the flat plains at the Himalayan foothills, known as Terai. Terai, also known as Madhes in Nepali is the breadbasket of Nepal and is home to several diverse Indo-European language communities. The oxen cart, known as bail gaada in Nepali, is a hallmark of Terai using which corn, rice, sugarcane, etc. are transported.
