First Activity: Kite
The first activity we did after settling in our various homestay, was making kite. Sounds childish right? i know, that's what i felt at first. i remember when i was a kid , we used to make kites and fly them high in the sky. So, when i heard about our first activity i laughed it off, and said its pretty easy. later when our instructor started the kite i was like..wooohh this ain't like the one am used to, and its more professional-like than the ones i made when i was a kid. It was hard, but very good and strong.

The kite is made from the bamboo trunks found in the area. They are cut in accordance with the size and shape desired. Believe me, its a long process and takes patience with good sense of proportion not forgetting skills. Below are some pictures taken during the activity.
