Why April here

Golden pagodas, Khampti villages and Theravada calm in the Lohit plains.

Namsai is the Khampti heartland of eastern Arunachal: the great Golden Pagoda (Kongmu Kham) complex, Theravada monasteries in every village, and a lowland Tai-Buddhist culture that feels transplanted from Southeast Asia. Sangken, the water festival, lands in mid-April.
