This vibrant and vivacious festival celebrates the cultural diversity of the Naga tribes. Celebrated every year from 1st to the 7th of December it brings all the tribes under one roof. With every tribe having festive dances at different times of the year it is usually a difficult proposition to witness the varied dances. This festival, thus gives an opportunity not only to the outside world to witness the spectacle but also allows the other Naga tribes to experience the dances and customs of their counterparts form across the state.
Over a period of seven days the dances, rituals and traditional sports of the sixteen tribes are showcased in great pomp and glory. More significantly, dance troupes from all the other North Eastern states join the extravaganza, providing the onlooker with an exclusive glimpse into the cultural diversity of the entire North East. Not surprisingly, in recent years the festival has gone truly global with dance troupes from South Korea, Thailand and Myanmar entering the fray to showcase their talents.
Albeit, to feel the pulse of Nagaland it is imperative to stay in some of the Naga villages where the traditional way of life is more or less intact . During our trip we would stay at one such village – Khonoma interacting with the locals at close quarters.Plus we would be visit villages of the Ao Naga tribe in Central Nagaland.

Have you ever imagined walking through a rainforest with a dense overhead canopy; created by towering trees whose tops seem to vanish into the sky and tall bamboos whose tops seem magnetically attracted to each other forming long continuous archways through which one can continue trekking, getting a glimpse of the life that lives beneath this awe-inspiring canopy whenever the sun manages to break through the foliage, listening to the hooting of the Hornbills and the Gibbons, and watching wide-eyed the fluttering of the multi coloured butterflies.

Ever dreamt of trekking in an ecosystem that is home to over 100 mammals, 300 birds and a thousand other life forms? A forest so rich in diversity that every inch is teeming with life that you can come across at any moment – while crossing streams on rickety foot bridges , jumping over large tree trunks which block the road or while ascending/descending the gentle climbs that dot the path. Such is the allure of Namdapha.

Namdapha National Park
Namdapha National Park located on the eastern tip of Arunachal Pradesh is a paradise – a Mecca for nature lovers. This rainforest extending well over 2000 sq. kms. is a biodiversity hotspot containing more than 1000 species of plants, 500 species of birds, 350 butterflies and many more smaller forms of life. This is the only park which boasts of having big large cats namely tiger, leopard, clouded leopard and now leopard, despite which it is difficult to see any of them or their prey due to the dense forestation. But this is more than made up enjoying the humongous trees and appreciating the smaller forms of life giving us a better understanding of the web of life.
