The area we visit today is the home of the approximately 6000 members of the fierce Bondas (naked people) of Tibetan-Burmese origin. They live in the remote hills and keep themselves isolated. They grow rice by shifting cultivation and keep domesticated cows and goats. They can only be seen when they .co.ine to trade at the local market, and we have timed our visit to coincide with the weekly market. The Bonda women are noticeable by their bead necklaces, striking brass and silver neck lets and their shaved heads decorated with plaits of palmyra leaves. We will also visit the colorful Godabas, A munda tribe who speak in the Austro Asiatic dialect. Afterwards drive to drive Jeypore enroute visit some of the road side villages. Overnight in Jeypore
