Ethnic Diversity
 
 
Ethnic groups found in this region largely comprises of Chepang, Tharu, Musahan, Satahar, Danuwar, Tamang, Kumal Gurung and Magar. One of the most disadvantaged ethnic groups of Nepal, the Chepangs inhabit in the remote and sparse contours, outback and rolling precipices of the districts of Makwanpur,

Chitwan, Gorkha ad Dhading, they have their own distinct language, lead a nomadic life and their primary lifestyle includes hunting, foraging for wild roots and fishing and traditional farming near jungles.

Their settlements, house construction, social organization, language, customs, festivals and religion are unique. It is felt that their religion and culture are influenced by the Tamangs. Especially a Praja Pande (faith healer) might be an interesting figure for culture tourists to be introduced to.
