We visit the famous toy town of Channapatna, home to the legendary makers of wooden toys. The skilled artisans of this town follow a unique process perfected by generations over time to make these eco friendly and child safe toys. They begin by procuring ivory wood, seasoning, cutting pruning, carving and finally applying vegetable dye for colouring. We visit a factory where guests can see these master craftsmen in action. Guests get to interact with the artisans and get a first hand experience of their trade and way of life.

Next in our Bangalore culture tour itinerary is a visit to a centre for promoting village folk art of the State of Karnataka. Guests get to see more than 5000 folk artefacts depicting folk literature, music, dance, festivals, sculpture and lifestyle in the different sections of this centre spread over 15 acres. Some of the incredible artefacts include 500 year old shadow puppets, Doddamane a replica of a large traditional village house, paintings from tribal homes,  a sculpture yard which has exhibits from AD 800 and live demonstration of craft like Pottery.

We visit a village which houses a unique Tree. The Big Banyan tree here is 400 years old and this single tree is spread over 5 acres of area! Guests get to walk along the roots on the pathway that leads to the prop root and can even walk in and out of the tree.
