Before breakfast go for a walk and watch the world come alive as you have never seen before. During the day visit any number of markets while stopping off at villages of the different tribes and view crafts in the varying locations. We will give you more than tours of roadside villages and markets. With our excursions we go a little deeper to discover the India of old and the India unseen, we go on a trip back in time. In the evenings relax and enjoy dinner back at the guesthouse.
The potters from the village of Goudaguda (in which Chandoori Sai is situated) create the terracotta pots and utensils for daily use in the surrounding area and these are sold at the local weekly market or "haat". You can experience at first hand the traditional craft of pottery making on a daily basis, and even participate if you so desire.
Village life is very simple in the tribal belt of Orissa. This simplistic life is a hard one that is dictated by the seasons and weather but uncomplicated by any of the stresses of the 21st century. These people take full stock of their precarious existence and live by it accordingly.
Villages and houses vary greatly in style pertaining to the tribe and area. They vary in size from an extended family village of a dozen or so houses carved out of the forest, to villages of a few thousand in the more developed areas, some with a mix of adivasi and general population but each still keeping to their style of housing.
