Nagalavi Village Stay

February 17 to 19 at stayed in a village Nagalavi of District Dharwad, Karnataka. Here during this period it was literally total different experience for me. Because villages in North India are differ than village in karnataka by architecture, tradition and social norms. It was tough for me to talk with villagers and get the information about them because most of villagers used kannada language in speaking. But I enjoyed my village stay.
