The fascinating country of India
has one of the largest numbers of tribes that
still follow their ancient customs and rituals, in
the whole world. Form the exotic and colorful
tribes of the Northeast, to those belonging to the
Chhotanagpur plateau area, the states of Orissa or
Madhya pradesh, each one of these tribes has a
legacy of customs that are deeply steeped in
tradition and superstition.
Caper Travel brings you some priceless Tribal Tours that will allow you a
glimpse into the life styles of these simple and
aged tribes. For instance, the Maria tribals of
Bastar have the curious custom of a ghotul (king
of rest-house) where both boys and girls are
allowed to spend a nigh out in the every week.
Cases of pregnancy are few, but if there are - the
boys are fined and the girls are married off to
the boy of the parents' choice.
You could also get the opportunity to interact
with the Khasi tribe of Meghalaya, which is a
matrilineal society, and is based on the tenet
"Maternity is a certainty while paternity only a
myth." Every child is considered legitimate, with
or without the mother being married. Clan
solidarity is an important facet of Khasi society.
The unique textile and handloom weaving tribes of
Orissa are famous for their rich range of textures
and fabrics, from a variety of silks to tussar and
cotton, and unique designs. You could take your
