We run trips timed around Northeast India's biggest cultural moments, festivals that are genuinely lived by local communities, not staged for visitors. Ziro Festival of Music brings indie and folk acts to the Apatani valleys of Arunachal Pradesh every September. Hornbill Festival in December gathers Nagaland's tribes at Kisama Heritage Village for ten days of dance, food, and craft. Both are free to attend; what we handle is the logistics around them, permits, stay, and transport, booked out well in advance since accommodation near both venues fills up fast in festival season. Check the dates below and message us if you want a seat on an upcoming departure.
Corporate outings, college trips, family groups, we organize bespoke group experiences tailored entirely to you.
