Young Indian city dwellers are watched by local children as they swim in a river during their stay in the remote village of Purushwadi some 140 miles (220kms) west of Mumbai on March 14, 2009. The remote village of Purushwadi is perched high in the jagged hills of Maharashtra state, western India. Life for the tribal famers here hasn't changed much in centuries. Locals still live with their animals in mud-brick houses with dried cow dung floors, there is no electricity or running water and the day revolves around backbreaking work in the fields under the harsh rays of an unforgiving sun. Yet places like this are now attracting India's city dwellers, who are eager to swap their desk jobs and the stresses of metropolitan living for clean air and a more traditional way of life -- if only for a few days.
