Guinness World Records Shares Video Of Karbi Tribesmen

Guinness World Records recently took to their social media accounts and shared a video of a long line of men from the Karbi tribe of Assam walking on stilts. According to an article which was recently published by the Hindustan Times or HT, this stilt-walking is locally known as Kang Dong Dang.

The line consisted of as many as 721 participants who formed a single moving line while walking on stilts. The line stretched as long as two kilometres and the participants were recorded to be on stilts for ten minutes.

Thus, they created a new world record for the longest moving line of people on stilts. This practice of stilt-walking is deeply rooted in their culture and is passed down from generation to generation. It was undoubtedly an incredible milestone for the tribe.
