So what’s your name? Erica, Adam, Rahul?
Ever heard of tune as a name?  #Kongthong- The whistling village of India, located in Meghalya- villagers here communicate with each other using a unique form of whistled identity instead of names. When a woman is pregnant she thinks of a particular tune, which becomes the name of the newborn.   Here, we stayed in this beautiful bamboo hut. Big enough to accommodate four adults and with an option of inhouse bon fire, this accommodation not only let you experience traditional Khasi style but also reconnects you with nature. Also accommodation like these help villagers earn some money and improve their lifestyle while making sure that natural beauty is not lost #TroverRT
