Locals and tourists visit the pretty settlement for its spectacular landscapes along with its bizarre natural occurrence of bird deaths.

The villagers have documented the death of different bird species during August and November under uncanny circumstances. The dark foggy nights which lacked moonlight proved to be the most opportune time for these strange events to occur. Scientists solved the perplexing case by learning that the local bird population which included natives and migrants was drawn to the village lights which resulted in bamboo accidents. The unclear night conditions combined with fog made the birds lose focus until they struck the bamboo poles that villagers had constructed to catch what they believed were nighttime spirits of departed souls who wanted to hurt them. The birds’ protection led the village members to use bamboo poles to capture them thus causing bird deaths through bamboo impact. The scientists together with environmental activists explain to villagers about the bird suicide phenomenon while showing them why such practices should be discontinued.

The period between August and November draws most of the travellers to this location including birdwatchers and ornithologists because of this unique phenomenon. Approximately 2,500 Khasi-pnar tribal people together with few Dimasa people reside in this settled community.
