Bette Kurumba tree house and cleared hillside in upland Kerala

Bette Kurumbas often built houses high in trees (as much as 15-20 metres above the ground) where they sleep at night to avoid wild elephants. A tree house is shown here in the middle distance. In the foreground is a hillside recently cleared for cultivation.
