Elephant carvings

The kids aged 7,9 were thrilled with the place. It was like entering into someone’s traditional home, a few units connected through steps and open doorways. It was very quaint and filled with personal Knick knacks. The carvings were beautiful and so realistic, down to...More

Amazing carvings!

Very detailed carvings! Requires an excellent patience. Some carvings seems alive. Especially the mammoth near the entrance. Free to tour around on your own. Witnessing the making of structures, from a wooden block to end of product. Well done! A wood turned into a beautiful...More
