A group of veteran Swedish cyclists on Friday visited Thirugale, a two-month tuber conservation programme being organised by Noorangu, a collective of Vettakuruma tribal women at Irumbupalam near Kattikulam in Wayanad.
The word Thirugale in tribal parlance denotes a stroll into their 70 cents where they have cultivated as many as 180 varieties of tubers.
The two-month programme envisages sensitising the public to the significance of conserving various types of tubers.
