Janakpur - Surroundings

Numerous other cisterns and small temples are found in the immediate vicinity of Janakpur. The cultivated area surrounding the town quickly gives way to a luxuriant tropical landscape. Outstanding are the villages of Kuwa and Rampur, which still belong to Janakpur.

Outside Kuwa, the Mahila Bikas Kendra is a Women's Development Center, where the women of the area foster and revive local crafts. Maithili ceramics, painting and craft work can be seen and purchased here.
