Aoling & Mopin Festivals - Beyond Your Imagination

Holiday Scout posted on 02 June 2015

Every year in April, the tribes of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland prepare their fields for sowing. Upon completion of the hard work, vibrant harvest festivals ensue. For seven days feasts are enjoyed, rice beer is drunk, colourful dances are performed and deities are worshiped in anticipation of a bountiful crop. This majestic display of ethnic pageantry truly takes one to the boundaries of the imagination.

Testimonials

“ One word for my trip to North-East India with Holiday Scout: FABULOUS!! I really enjoyed the 11 days on tour with our group. I was fascinated how beautiful the landscape in Arunachal Pradesh is and how nice the people are. It was not just a tour, it was more like visiting a good friend who shows us his home, his lovely family and friends and his culture. It was definitive a Experience of a Lifetime and it's worth it to book a tour with Holiday Scout...you won't regret it :-) And I know that I will go on tour with them again!
