This tour will bring you to an ancient village which has a history of approximately 1,200 years, with many houses dating back up to 400 years. One special thing about the village is that most of the houses are made of laterite and mud – two materials that are abundant in the area.
The village is also famous as “the hometown of two kings”.
A chat with a local farmer at his home is a highlight of this tour which gives you a unique experience by sharing the life experience with him.
