The Most Beautiful Indian Village? (Khonoma Eco Village)
I found the most beautiful village in India called Khonoma Eco Village - India's first green village. See for yourself how stunning, clean, and serene this Indian village is. It's a paradise surrounded by lush green mountains, rolling clouds, and cute terraced farms.
We try the village food available at a small stall at the village entrance. Nothing fancy, just chai, Maggi, Wai Wai, and Galho - a Nagamese traditional meal of rice porridge with vegetables and meat.
Then we go for a tour of the majestic village in the North East Indian hills.
Sustainability and green living is encouraged in this Indian village which is touted as the first green village of India.
Its also a very clean village adhering to the Swachh Bharat (Clean India) campaign.
