is a jungle path going along the sides of the hill leading to the Living Root Bridge with a few
steps after short stretches of sloping foot path. Moss thrives on these sandstone steps during the
monsoon and makes them slippery. Back trek to starting point and evening at leisure.

village epitomizes a standard, which all other villages need to aspire to be. Dubbed the cleanest
village in India by Discover India Magazine, the primary Village School till class V boasts of its
no dropout record and the village of 90 % literacy. Paved walkways and beautiful flowerbed all
along mark the village, with waterfalls, *a living root bridge, hilly rivulets, acacia plantation and
