The Tharu people mainly live in Terai area, specially in Chitwan and Dang Valley.
Some Tharu live in longhouses, which may hold up to 150 people. The longhouses are built of mud with lattice walls. They grow barley, wheat, maize, and rice, as well as raise animals. In the big rivers, they use large nets to fish.
Tharu people were in danger for the malaria but nowadaus is already irradicated.
