Community Homestay Network

Like other Nepali Community Homestays, the accommodation and activities at Barauli Community Homestay in Chitwan are managed by local women. Running the homestays provides local women with valuable skills and self-confidence, as well as an independent source of income. Guests at the Barauli Community Homestay each have a private cottage: earthen, thatched-roof huts that resemble the traditional village architecture of the local Tharu people, but with modern conveniences like running water, comfy beds, and mosquito nets. Each cottage is named after the local woman who manages it.
