Mango Tree Lodge aims to be a place where tourism contributes to the surrounding Tharu community in Thakurwara through the support of local development projects and by encouraging an understanding of sustainable agriculture. We welcome interested conservation groups who can observe the principles of sustainable agriculture in action. They will also have the opportunity to learn and exchange skills in a variety of areas related to life in the Tarai and the lodge.
We aim to trial different crops, growing and farming techniques, while maintaining a consciousness of energy both in consumption and waste. The results from the trails will be fed into a resource centre for use by the wider local community and visitors.
