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

“ My trip to Tawang was really amazing. Every single minute was unforgettable. From the moment I arrived in Guwahati, till the moment I took my bus in Tezpur, everything was great. I spent seven wonderful days travelling through Nameri, Bomdila, Dirang and Tawang. I experienced the local atmosphere and traditional dishes and drinks. People (guide, driver, hotels staff, locals) were friendly and helpful all the time. They always did everything and wanted me to be comfortable and enjoy my day. You succeed, guys! I will never forget my time in NE India. Holiday Scout Tour and Travel isn't a travel agency, you guys are a FRIEND in this incredible place in the world. THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED. Pablo.
