In the Southeastern Hilltracts:
Seven Days Among the Marma & Murung People

Thumbnail description: Host Didar invites visitors into the hill country of extreme southeastern Bangladesh, not far from the Burmese border, for this weeklong trip offering an in-depth look at the indiginous Marma and Murung people and their land. Sometimes by boat, sometimes hiking, and sometimes by vehicle, the trip is a kind of wandering among the region's villages and countryside. Time is made for exploring local bazaars, swimming in a lake at dusk, sipping homebrew in a private home, playing football with tribal youth on the riverbank, and learning all about slash-and-burn agriculture, waist-loom weaving, and a thousand other things that wander into view.
