The Terai is Nepal’s southern lowland region and is central to agriculture, forests, river plains, transportation, border movement, and cultural diversity.
The Terai has flatter terrain than the hills and Himalaya, making it important for roads, farming, markets, wildlife habitats, and urban expansion.
The region includes Madhesi, Tharu, Muslim, hill-migrant, and other communities with distinct food, language, festival, and settlement patterns.
This page connects with Chitwan National Park, Tharu communities, Chhath, Madhesh identity, agriculture, and Nepal-India border systems.
