Of Weaves and Wonders in Karbi Anglong

Step into the vibrant heart of Karbi culture with our “Walking, Weaving, and Welcoming” experience in the villages of Mohpara and Chandra Singh Rongpi, nestled on the fringes of Kaziranga National Park. This short escape is an invitation to slow down, explore the traditions of the indigenous Karbi people, and witness the intricate artistry of their handwoven heritage.

Your journey begins with a guided village walk, offering a peek into everyday Karbi life — from visiting local homes to meeting artisans working at traditional looms. At the community-run handloom centre, discover the techniques behind their distinctive motifs and learn about the significance of weaving in Karbi identity and economy.

As you continue your exploration, visit a revered elephant-shaped rock, an ancient natural formation deeply woven into local folklore and spiritual life. Along the way, take in scenic views of the surrounding hills and forest edges that define this unique landscape.

The experience culminates in a traditional Karbi lunch served in a village home, where you’ll taste locally-sourced delicacies that reflect the warmth and resourcefulness of the community. With every story shared and every flavor savored, you’ll leave with a deeper connection to this lesser-known corner of Assam.
