LEARN INDIGENOUS TRIBAL ART IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Arunachal Pradesh is home to over 26 tribal communities, most of whom continue to follow a traditional lifestyle, virtually disconnected from the rest of the world. Kipepeo (kipepeo.in) is a socially responsible tourism venture that has been organising communityoriented tours in Northeast India for 10 years now, helping tribes attain an equitable status in the society. One of their tours takes you deep in the valleys along the Siang and Subansiri rivers, where you learn about the culture and traditions of six tribes—Adi, Apatani, Tagin, Gallo, Mishmi, and Nyishi. From savouring traditional brews and picking up bamboo crafting skills from the Adi tribe to learning the unique farming practices of the Apatanis and a homestay experience in Ziro Valley, the tour brings to you the simple joys of life. Plan the 11-day Central Arunachal Tribes Tour between October and May.
