This #EnvironmentDay2023 let’s dip dive into Eco-tourism as an alternative to exploitative mainstream tourism model. Without ecology there is no Eco-tourism. Eco-tourism implicitly incentivises Ecological conservation and restoration. What do you think?
Jhum visit with Vanessa Stephens from Wild Landscapes. We spoke to farmers about the culture and economics of jhum farming, what they grow, why and how they do it. We broke bread with them, and had our lunch prepared by our lovely Langkiri group.
As a community eco- cultural tourism initiative,we participated in the 49th #karbiyouthfestival .With the objective of cultural revival, this largest and oldest Ethnic festival in Assam brings together the Karbi community, & offers a space for transfer of traditional knowledge.
Today is Karbi New Year, and we spent the day with our Karbi community members, participating at the event with our team of local guides - Langkiri SHG who made their signature 'Sunga' (Bamboo nodes) tea.
