Virtual Trek - Accommodation and the villages

Tribal Groups - Accommodation and the villages
Morning on the verandah

Morning view from the veranda.  The tribal huts provide rustic jungle accommodation for the trekkers.  In keeping with village hospitality the elders designate specific huts for the visitors.  This is also the arrangement when other tribes visit.

Sleeping
Sleeping in rustic huts

Home for the night.  Most huts have an open fire inside used for cooking and heat and drying corn or maize. Meals are taken inside the same hut!

We recommend a sleeping bag in the winter-time and warm clothes at night as it does get quite chilly in the hills.

Hut styles do vary between tribes but are essentially bamboo structures built on stilts with thatched roofs.  They are remarkably efficient in keeping the interior cool and dry.

Domestic animals generally roam around, or are kept in pens beneath the huts.
