Vibrant Tribal Bazaars

Soak in the villager’s liveliness and get a flavor of the local life.

Walking into a tribal market or haat (as it is locally called) is a perfect way to get a flavor of the local life. Not only does it offer a brilliant display of local customs but also helps you to soak in the villager’s liveliness.

These bazaars bustling with activity and bursting with a riot of colours, showcase a fascinating array of display.
These may include local artefacts, pottery, tribal jewellery, fresh organic greens or the catch of the day.
These bazaars can be accessed on foot, on a bicycle ride, or you may request for a lodge jeep to ferry you back and forth, beforehand.
