Central India is home to many tribal communities. The Bastar region alone is home to eight distinct tribes whose their vibrant culture can be sampled at the busy Jagdalpur Sunday market, or by visiting tribal villages.
Several eco-lodges in Central Indian wildlife reserves work with local tribes and communities, offering them opportunities to showcase their culture to visitors through music and dance performances. Visits to tribal villages add an excellent variety to your wildlife watching. These tribal communities have intricate knowledge of the ways of the jungle, and have always co-existed in a sustainable way with the land and its wild animals.
