The Danuwar are an ethnic group indigenous to the inner Terai regions of Nepal.[3] They speak Danwar language. Danuwars can be found throughout the hills and Terai regions of central and eastern Nepal but they mainly reside in Sindhuli and Udayapur district.[4] They have close physical and cultural similarities with Tharus of Terai.[5] There are various sub groups largely Rajhan, Kachhade, Rai-Danuwar and Tharu Danuwar.[6][7][8]
