What a great night. We awake to slightly less rain and coffee is brought to our rooms. We head to the main area for breakfast and much needed retail therapy at the wee shop. On our way to Kala Raksha we drop into the Hodka craft villages.
When we arrive at Kala Raksha, the rain is back on with a vengeance. Set up and run by Judy Frater, Kala Raksha helps to preserve and develop the traditional arts of the area and particularly embroidery. We meet some fantastic women who share their stories and their work with us. The trust really is about empowering artisans, teaching them business skills and developing their natural talent. There is also a museum which is preserving key pieces. Oh and there is a shop......
We say our goodbyes and head off to a weaving village to meet some of the students who trained at Kala Raksha.
Off to our hotel for our last official sleep until home....gulp. where has the time gone.
