The pair were discovered when two people from a nearby village ventured 40 kilometres into the forest looking for firewood and saw their treehouse.

A newspaper report says the father and son were last seen running into the woods after a bomb exploded in his home, killing his wife and two other children in 1973.

According to local reporters the men survived by cultivating forest vegetables and hunting animals and had no contact with the outside world.
