PHOTOGRAPHY TOUR: DREE TRIBAL FESTIVAL AND MONKS OF MAJULI

During this festival and photography tour of Ziro and Majuli, expect to capture stunning images of lush landscapes, interesting portraits, and village life in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. The Dree Festival is an agricultural rite of the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh that is performed every year as a way to appease the gods and avoid famine. The Apatanis inhabit the tranquil, pine-clad valley of Ziro and are best known for their unique practice of wet rice cultivation. Majuli, on the other hand, is one of the world's largest river islands that is also a microcosm of Assamese culture. Explore these lesser-known but uniquely beautiful places with Teiso Yhoka, your lead photographer and guide.
