  This region is surrounded by a lush green forest, where tribes have made their home for many generations. The name "Karkatgarh," was given because it is a natural habitat for crocodiles where ("karkat" means crocodile, and "garh" means home). Most importantly, Bihar's biggest waterfall is within a short distance of about 500 meters from the village.

  I'll tell you about the projects we are seeing for the next 2 years to develop this village. Travellers can decide themselves what help they can offer:
  
  1. First and foremost is developing a sustainable guest house so the villagers may get an insight into what & how we look forward to developing the entire village. People generally don't believe you until you prove to them what exactly you want to do. So we have a site in the village that we need to renovate and make it functional for the tourist.
  
  2. The second target is to make a small clinic where basic medication and first aid can be given to all. As the nearest hospital is 25kms away from the village it is challenging for people to cross the dense forest during an emergency so in future we might also allocate an ambulance for it.
  
  3. Villagers have no hospitality training though it is a major tourist attraction. People come here to enjoy themselves with their family and friends a few on weekdays and a major footfall on weekends. So we need specialised training for them.
  
  4. Workawayers can help also on farms and share their experience of agriculture if they have.
  
  5. Major help is also required in promoting and advertising this place which is best through word of mouth. Still, if anyone is a digital marketing expert they are most welcome to help us reach the other side of the world. We can raise funds, charity or donations as well to help this village.
  
  6. This village has no electricity supply as if now they have few hours of backup through sustainable energy generation which is a maximum of 4-5 hours daily. We need to reach it to 24-hour electricity supply.
  
  7. DIY projects to make a comfortable living or any ideas to make the village look more beautiful are appreciated. The village right now is completely raw and untouched.
  
  8. Share and learn about food and culture
  
  9. Housekeeping and Gardening
  
  10. General Maintenance
