Handwoven moonj grass baskets — simple, durable, and made for everyday use.

These baskets are traditionally made by women from the Tharu tribe, using moonj grass that grows naturally in the Terai region. This craft has been passed down through generations and continues to be practiced with the same simplicity and care, keeping the tradition alive even today.

Each basket is handmade, giving it a natural texture and unique character. Along with being useful for storing fruits, breads, and daily essentials, it also adds a warm, aesthetic, and eco-friendly touch to your space. Available in multiple designs.

For the Tharu community, this is not just a craft but also an important source of livelihood.

Available now at Harela Community Shop, near Garjiya Gate, Corbett.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the amazing women behind Harela Community Shop.

These women from our villages come together to prepare homemade pickles, spices, jams, chutneys, and many other handmade products. With patience and traditional knowledge passed down through generations, they create each product with great care.

Harela is not just about products — it is about women supporting each other, learning together, and slowly building confidence and independence through their work.

On this Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate their strength, dedication, and the beautiful traditions they continue to keep alive.

Our wooden and cloth wildlife key chains are handcrafted and eco-friendly, giving a unique touch that regular key chains do not have.

They are inspired by the wildlife around us and the landscape people here live alongside. Simple in appearance, yet each one carries the hard work, care, and traditional skills of the artisans who make them. Because they are made by hand, with time and dedication, they are truly different from factory-made products.

New stock is now available at Harela Community Shop. If you would like to add one to your daily life or gift it to someone, please feel free to WhatsApp or DM us.

Hand-knitted by the women of our village, these woollen socks and caps are made slowly, carefully, and with deep attention to detail. Each thread carries patience, skill, and generations of traditional knowledge — created not in factories, but in homes filled with hope and purpose.

If you would like to bring this warmth into your life — or gift it to someone meaningful — you can write to us directly. Every purchase helps sustain livelihoods and keeps traditions alive.

Forests are not only habitats for wildlife — they are lifelines for communities. On 11 September, India observes National Forest Martyrs Day to remember the forest staff who gave their lives protecting these landscapes.

Their efforts safeguard more than trees and rivers. They protect the soil that grows our food, the plants that heal us, and the clean air and water that sustain daily life. For many villages, forests remain the foundation of survival and culture.

At Harela Community Shop, we honour their sacrifice with gratitude. Protecting forests also means protecting traditions, livelihoods, and future generations. On this day, let us remember that living in balance with nature is the best tribute we can offer.
