点评:As two photographers, we experienced a phenomenal 8 days tour through Odisha. We visited many original tribes both livings as forest collectors/farmers in the highlands and more real farmers in the lowland. Each tribe had there speciality, like tattoos, women smoking cigars or having enormous earrings. In addition we visited plenty villages, markets and monasteries on our tour.
We had Jaga as our fantastic tour guide, who was always in a good mood and sharing his detailed knowledge about the tribes we meet. With 20 years of experience with the tribes, he knew them personally, which we benefited from when getting sincere pictures. He quickly got a really good feeling for our photographic interests and he constantly found good motives for us. This empathy combined with his good connection with the tribes, made it a good experience for both us and the tribes.
Bolo was our friendly, safe and tierless chauffeur, who would drove us everywhere any time, in our hunt for good morning or evening light. At the same time, Jaga always encouraged us to continue as photographers, even we were getting tired. Jaga and Bolo would never say no to any of our proposals, but they would always try to fulfill our expectations and improvise if needed.
There were many highlights on our tour, from colourful tribes to almost naked sadhus and staying at the mararadies palas.
All in all a fantastic tour at a very reasonable price.

我们的导游贾加非常棒,他总是兴致勃勃,乐于分享他对所遇到的各个部落的深入了解。他与这些部落相处了二十年,对他们非常熟悉,这让我们在拍摄照片时受益匪浅,捕捉到了他们最真实的一面。他很快就了解了我们的摄影兴趣,并不断为我们找到合适的拍摄角度。这种同理心,加上他与部落成员的良好关系,使我们和部落成员都拥有了一次美好的体验。
博洛是我们友好、安全、无忧的司机,无论何时何地,他都会载着我们去任何地方,追寻清晨或傍晚的绝美光线。与此同时,即使我们感到疲惫,Jaga 也始终鼓励我们继续摄影。Jaga 和 Bolo 从不拒绝我们的任何提议,他们总是尽力满足我们的期望,并在必要时随机应变。
这次旅行亮点纷呈,从色彩斑斓的部落到近乎赤身裸体的苦行僧,再到入住马拉迪斯宫廷,令人难忘。
总而言之,这是一次物超所值的精彩旅行。
