With a population comprising of one third tribals, Chhattisgarh prides itself on being a prime destination for tribal tours. Dominated by dense forests, waterfalls and gushing streams of rivers, Chhattisgarh has plenty of spellbinding locations which will definitely lure nature lovers to take a tribal tour to its remote villages. The wildlife and vegetation of Chhattisgarh consists of many rare species of birds, animals, wild plants and fruits which make it an ideal location for eco and wildlife trips. Besides this, the state offers glimpses of life in tribal areas which makes for a rewarding vacation for those who want to escape the monotony of city life.
Chhattisgarh has some of the most primitive tribes living in its hills and forests which are the reason many tour operators in India have begun to introduce Tribal tours of Chhattisgarh to let the travelers experience life in the tribal villages in Chhattisgarh. These tribes of Chhattisgarh are known for their distinctive rituals, customs, traditions, food and costumes which differ from tribe to tribe. The state has around 35 tribes spread on its various parts. Of these the most prominent ones are Gonds, Muria, Kawar, Abuj Maria, Bison horn maria, Kol, Dhurva and Korba tribes. The tribal people in Chhattisgarh rely primarily on farming, fishing, hunting and herding activities for livelihood. These people live in special huts known as Ghotuls made from bamboo sticks, wood and mud which are sure to leave the tourists in awe of the warmth they carry.
The tribal folks living in the thirteen villages included under the Swadesh Darshan Scheme have retained the ancient way of living and subsist on minimal resources which is the most impressive feature of tribal life. With the launch of tribal tourism circuit project, both the tourists and locals are expected to benefit as the implementation of the project is likely to generate new avenues of employment for people belonging to tribal communities and will also enhance the existing facilities to provide a comfortable stay to tourists in the remote tribal regions.
