Natural Harmony
The hills exemplify a rare bonding between man
and nature, a remarkable give and take relationship between one another. An
ideal example is Uravu, a programme involving tribals to produce value added
products from local resources, which in turn contributes to sustaining the
natural resource base. Today, the bamboo based products of Uravu are popular
across the world and the success of the initiative has spurred a host of other
such programmed involving the local community.
With their excellent topography, the hills are
every adventure enthusiast’s dream. From trekking to paragliding , rock
climbing to rafting , the options here are endless.
