Discover how curd making is one of the main livelihoods of people here and meet a lady in her village house who will teach you the secrets of making a delicious curd pot. At the end of the demonstration, enjoy a tasting of fresh curd with honey. Finally, be driven back to your hotel where you will be dropped off and your village tour concludes.
