The story
At Uravu, bamboo is a material people cultivate, process and turn into a livelihood.
The story of Uravu Bamboo Village
Uravu works at Thrikkaipetta village, with bamboo craft, skill training and community enterprise at the centre of its activities. Kerala Tourism describes guided processing visits and custom workshops. Watching the material move from raw culm to a finished object explains more than simply browsing a souvenir shelf.

Why visit
Contact the organisation before planning a demonstration or workshop, because a staffed session needs arrangements beyond arriving at the village. Ask which products are made locally and who made them. This is a working craft community, so photographs of artisans and entry to work areas should follow their permission.
