Heartfelt words from a festival attendee

The Nilgiri Earth Festival is a wonderful way to get introduced to the rich diversity of ingredients in these hills, the beautiful way growing and cooking food and tribal customs intersect. From the Badaga meals, the walks, the showcase of all the local produce (foraged or grown), the chef's table at Little Earth, it's a very special experience curated with a lot of heart.
