Private Tour Day Trip Textile Village Pochampally Hyderabad WITH GUIDE

Pochampalli, 40 Kms from Hyderabad on Vijaywada Highway, where one observes a mix of tradition, modernity, culture, history and of course the famous IKKAT. The village is widely known for the Pochampa

Spread over an attractive corner of the Deccan plateau, Pochampalli is 50 km from Hyderabad. It is the largest centre for Ikkat, the intricate tie-and-dye craft for silk and cotton weaving. Ikkat is the process of resist dyeing with the sequence of wrapping and dyeing sections of bundled yarn to a predetermined colour pattern, prior to weaving. Gurukul learning of Ikkat will specially interest the visitor, seeking a live experience of the craft, combined with local culture and cuisine. Pochampalli was also the launch pad for Acharya Vinoba Bhave's Bhoodan (donation of land for community use) movement. The Acharya's Ashram, bordering a large waterbody, is open to visitors and as indeed is the local community's warm disposition
