Chautari
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2019) |
Chautari (चौतारी) is a rest stop usually found along the foot trails of rural Nepal. They are usually made by piling stones to create a platform and usually have Banyan or Peepal (Ficus religiosa) tree (or both) planted on to provide shade.[1] The primary aim of a chautari is to provide a brief rest stop to travelers hiking along the trail. However, in a village, they also provide a place for social gatherings after a day of work.
