If you’re looking for a quick spot that shows the original village layout, the stone washed wall cluster near the coconut grove is easy to spot from the main road and gives a clear sense of how the early settlers organized their homes. It’s often used for small community gatherings. The cultural walk that starts at 10 a.m. every day also stops at the handloom workshop where locals still weave fabrics using the same traditional looms that the settlers brought over. The guide explains how the mosque’s roof tiles were made from clay sourced right on the island, linking architecture to everyday craft. If you need an English speaking guide, let the tour leader know before you join, and they can arrange it for you.
