Landlocked and time-bound, if the traditions of Mangar have stood still, the village has preserved them well. Nestled among the forest grove, there’s a quaint jewellery museum showcasing beautiful tribal jewellery from all over India. What makes the secret all the more charming are the tiny little drawers that the jewellery is kept in, and like the village itself obscures the beauty hidden within.

Thank you to Travel Talk Magazine for publishing our story on the village of Mangar; why it’s the hidden jewel of India, the new hub of eco-tourism and a piece of living history.
