My experience watching Tharu Dance (Tharu Naach) in Chitwan National Park was unforgettable! I was filled with excitement as soon as I heard the sound of low-pitched wooden drums and high-pitched cymbals from the distance. As I approached, I was overwhelmed by a sea of bright colors, twirling tribal costumes, and energetic dancers shuffling around the courtyard. The traditional sounds and moves captivated me and gave me some insight into their ancient customs. It felt like time had stood still as I watched with awe at such a magnificent spectacle under a starry night sky in one of Nepal’s most cherished national parks. Truly unforgettable!
