A mysterious island land diving island!

The Dhaka Times Desk There are many types of islands in the world. But some islands surprise us. One such island has a story today.

Vanuatu is a beautiful island of New Zealand. We read about the country in books. The Republic of Vanuatu is a country of about 80 islands in the South West Pacific Ocean.

This country was first discovered in 1606 by a Portuguese sailor. But there is also archeological evidence of Melonesian settlement in the country about 1300 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.

These Melonesians were liberated by the French and British until 1980. That is why French and English languages are mixed together to form 'Bislima' language.

No Bangladeshi passport requires a visa to travel to Vanuatu. It is mainly surrounded by Australia, Fiji, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia. 'Land diving' is more surprising than this. Which can be called 'jumping and running from the bamboo fort'!

It is such an interesting thing that there is no other game like it anywhere else in the world. Therefore, knowing when this festival takes place, you need to book the cruise cabin for 11 days on April 18, 2013.

Vanuatu adventure tours offer many beautiful places to visit. You can also go if you want.' In one story, Queen Elizabeth once came to Vanuatu. He named an island Mysterious Island, this island is truly mysterious and full of beauty. He came to Pentecost and saw the race that jumped the bamboo castle!

Such is the history of this festival. The husband always used to tease his wife because of her high sexual desire. One day the husband and wife were quarreling over this. The wife climbed to the top of a banyan tree to escape her husband and secretly tied a vine around her ankle. Seeing his wife on the tree, the husband also climbed up.

When his wife saw him climbing up, she jumped down. The husband also jumped behind her. But the husband did not tie the vine around his ankles, due to which the poor husband died immediately. This is how the wife cheated on her husband. Common women could never accept this deception. They also continued to die in this way, but the number of people from the village was decreasing. When the women jumped from the trees, their bodies were also exposed.

But husbands were not at all comfortable seeing their wives like this. So the game was banned for women. This is how men started the game hundreds of years ago.

Jumping out of trees gradually transforms into specially designed wooden forts. Which has now completely turned into a bamboo fort. At least once in a lifetime the men of Pentecost had to make this leap.

According to the rules there, usually the eldest son of the family (if 16 years old) has to give land diving to prove his luck according to his ability. On the day of the ceremony, men wear Namba and women wear traditional waistcoats early in the morning. The breast area is sometimes covered by young women with grass leaves.

Also 10 to 20 men of the village participate in this competition. Which is seen as a rare occurrence indeed. The island's heritage has now become a major tourist attraction. Also Guinness World Records. Many people come from different parts of the world to see this mysterious island. They were surprised by the culture here.
