If by now, you think we are talking about you, can we then ask you to smile please Because you are at the right terminal! Welcome once again!
If you are a traveller who chase curated experiences because you have no time to do it on your own, or a slow traveller who live your life by a compass not a clock, Northeast India must be in your bucket list.
What we in Assamese call Xaat Bhoni, the region comprises a bevy of Seven Sisters, and of course Sikkim. Together, it is a vibrant bouquet that complements India’s diversity; is the veritable backbone of its distinctiveness and richness as a nation. It is the stretch of land that welcomes the life giving rays of the Sun first in India
This geographical contiguity spanning seven picturesque states – Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh – and Sikkim, shares most number of India’s international borders. Most times, these border states beyond the chicken’s neck on the Indian map may be bunched together as one entity – Northeast India — but their strength and exclusivity lies in their diversity.
Each tribe residing in the region is unique. Their dissimilar weaves, food, drinks, language, jewellery, music, history, edifices, socio- religious beliefs are what make them stand out from each other. Even the non-tribes who have called these states their home for centuries are not a copy of their counterparts in mainland India. Together, it is their composite material and oral culture and capital that also helps make India look so attractive, colourful, culturally wealthy and diverse in the world travel map. This cross-section of people that the Firingoti team belongs to is so much more than just a motely crowd from the margins of the country residing on the borderlands!
Add to this backdrop the pristine nature and biodiversity that the region flaunts and what a traveller gets is an unforgettable window to a unique ecosphere.
