We will visit four unique festivals put on by four different tribal groups which will allow us a broad overview of the traditional clothing, music, dance & food of the North East Hill Tribes.

We will meet in Guahati, India and go directly to the harvest festival in Tura district of Meghalaya to celebrate with the Garo tribes.

From there we will go to Cherrapunji to experience the beautiful jungle, incredible waterfalls and the living root bridges built by the kashi tribes near the border with Bangladesh.
