Korai Village Guided Tour

Overview

Korai, a tiny village on the Agra–Fatehpur Sikri road, is a glimpse of real village life in India—both for the rare traveler and for Indians craving the simplicity of life in the village. Kalandhar: A Tradition Transformed Inhabited by the Kalandhar tribe, this village is home to a profoundly stirring story of tradition, resilience and transformation. A trip to Korai is much more than a sightseeing trip—it’s a culture shock as you are linked with yesterday’s tales and the simplicity of life in a village today.
Korai was also renowned for its separate bear-dance ritual many years ago. The villagers had a strong connection with the bears and dancing for tourists was their main source of income. As the years passed though, with legislation changes and the advent of conservation, so too did this lifestyle. Today, Korai is a beacon of change and promise, where erstwhile performers have transitioned to new means of subsistence, whilst retaining their cultural wealth.
