7-Day HILLTRIBES OF BANGLADESH
Chittagong * Bandarbans * Remote
Villages * Dhaka
Journey deep into Mru country - up until very recently
closed to outsiders! This region is home to over half
a million indigenous people belonging to 16 different
ethnic groups. Perhaps the most intriguing are the Mru
tribe scattered between the Sangu and Matamuri river valleys.
Due to extreme isolation, much of their traditional lifestyle
and pristine environment are still preserved. Enjoy a
river cruise and easy jungle hikes into Mru villages,
where the people still wear loin cloth and the men wear
their hair in top knots. Observe Jhoom(slash and burn)
cultivation, waist-loom weaving and traditional music
played with bagpipe-like bamboo and gourd flutes.
