Tribal village visit





We visit a tribal village which is known locally as 'Chicken village'. I wonder why! We watch this girl weaving a beautiful intricately patterned scarf on her hand loom & are tempted by these & the other local handicrafts.

Afterwards we visit a mushroom farm. Local villagers fill bags with sawdust from rubber trees mixed with mushroom spores & hang them up in humid huts. The most amazing mushroom grow right out of the sides of the bags & these are then dried out in the sun to be dehydrated for later use.
