Bahedwa Tharu Community Homestay: Immersive cultural experience coupled with culinary delights

Prabha Kumari Chaudhary, 34, from Udayapur’s Triyuga Municipality -13 is currently occupied with the operation of a homestay in her village. Her days are filled with greeting and preparing meals for the guests staying at the homestay. Since the inauguration of Bahedwa Tharu Community Homestay in June 2021, Chaudhary, along with other women, has experienced a transformation in their lifestyles.

Before the establishment of the Bahedwa Tharu Community Homestay, Chaudhary’s daily routine revolved around managing household chores and her official responsibilities. Juggling both proved to be quite demanding for her. However, since the inception of the homestay in her village, there has been a notable transformation. These days, she dedicates her evenings to cooking and serving Tharu dishes for the homestay guests, working late into the night.
