🌿 - Where Nature, Culture and Indigenous Wisdom Come Alive
Step into the community forests of Phumen Ingti Village, nestled in the foothills of the Karbi Hills and surrounded by the rich cultural heritage of the Indigenous Karbi community.
The journey begins with a customary prayer for the wellbeing of every participant and for the natural elements and spirits of the forest we are about to encounter.
From easy trails to gently adventurous paths, participants can choose their own pace as the forest unfolds its stories. Watch birds and butterflies, discover trees and medicinal plants, learn about the many lives of bamboo and explore nature’s ingenious designs hidden in fruits, seeds and leaves.
Walk through streams, watch fish, immerse yourself in soundscapes and listen for Langkiri—the mysterious underground stream. Hear folk stories and traditional ecological knowledge from community guides, forage for lunch, cook in bamboo nodes, explore a jhum field, or simply pause to hug a tree and breathe.
This is not a walk where you simply pass through nature. You experience it, learn from it and connect with the people who call it home.
Co-created with the community, every trail is designed to turn curiosity into discovery and a simple walk into an unforgettable learning experience.
And when it is time to leave, take your memories with you - not your footprint
