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

“ Although the road was quite tough, I must admit that I do miss all those bumpy roads and countless sharp curves in Arunachal Pradesh. Getting to know and having time in a village house was quite a unique atmosphere. It was my real first time in this NE region, thanks for such an insightful trip and definitely a memorable one:)
