Typical fishermens houses in Tharu

On Wednesday I had a wonderful morning bird watching with a guide and then visited a government government school in Tharu. On the way back I passed the local women's institute going to give a talk at the school.

I went in a boat in the afternoon and passed locals doing their washing in the crocodile infested river

In the evening there was a demonstration of local dancing. Many of the dancers were staff at the lodge so it was fun and homely and didn't feel as though it was just entertainment for the tourists. (Two more groups had arrived at the lodge) The dancers were really enjoying themselves
Yet another hairy bus ride to return to the mountains on Thursday. It took 8 hours or so and it was so good to get back. It is damp and misty but still beautiful
