Culture and Art based eco activities
Architecture trails
On these trails, we discover the beauty of eco architecture, which is very often heritage based and very sensitive to the terrain you visit. Village homes are often made of local materials like mud, stone, thatch and yet they seem to survive with strength for ages. This activity helps create a sense of wonder and respect for the local skills.

It could be paintings on walls, or weaving a bamboo basket, discovering local handloom weaving or wood carving, every destination has something new to discover.
