The Korowai tribe which counts about 3000 people is one of the weirdest tribes in the world. They live in southeastern Papua/New Guinea and their culture still remains isolated from the modern civilization. As most of tribes, they have many weird customs and some of them consider cannibalism, too.

Like the fact that they are living in their own tribal way is not weird enough, they have something what makes them even more weird and unique. They have developed their own techniques of building tree houses on extremely tall trees.

Here you can see some of photos which are showing us how some of their homes are magnificent and some of photos are showing the process of constructing those buildings.

    it is very ignorant to call these people ‘weird’. they have their own customs just like everyone else – their practices may be unfamiliar to YOU, but calling them weird just displays your own lack of exposure to the many worlds beyond your own, familiar horizons. I suggest you spend more time traveling and less time blogging about what you don’t know.

    This is interesting but maybe try looking at it not from an ethnocentric view with terms like, “weird”.
