Balance body and mind and become immersed in the slow and gentle pace of life in an indigenous community.

Let the fragrance of the shellflower plant bring relaxation

Shellflower leaves have a distinctive fragrance. Once dried, they have a woodier tone. Indigenous people use these dried leaves to make mats, reminders of the importance of finding yourself and symbols of relaxation. This year, the dining table in the Kanding Community is decorated with shellflower wreaths and woven shellflower mats. Moreover, a sauce made from this plant.

Kamcing Micro-Theatre

Under the cover of the night, beside the flickering fire, accompanied by the melodic songs, the micro-theatre quietly begins. Thud! Thud! The booming, resonant sound of women pounding and sifting millet strikes deep into people’s hearts. Each strike expresses gratitude to Mother Nature, and every moment silently awaits the hunter’s return.
Suddenly, the messenger’s song rings in the ears, signaling the triumphant return of the hunter with his catch. Together, they share the joys of a bountiful harvest. The pure moonlight pours down, casting light on the focused expressions and the tribe’s everyday life, as it has always been.
