Mapping Memories

What pulls you here?

Pick the thread and we'll build the trip around it.

01, Festivals

Festivals

Northeast India runs on its festival calendar, Hornbill is only the loudest. Tribe gatherings, harvest festivals, monastery and river celebrations.

02, Trekking

Trekking

Grassland valleys, rhododendron forests and routes that end in villages instead of viewpoints. Moderate, honest, unforgettable.

03, Culture

Culture

Sixteen-plus tribes in Nagaland alone. Morungs, weaves, kitchens and conversations, culture here is participatory, not performed.

04, Food

Food

Smoked pork, bamboo shoot, axone, river fish, hill greens. The fastest way to understand the region is to eat your way across it.

05, Road trips

Road trips

The roads ARE the trip, mountain switchbacks, valley drops and tea-garden straights. We’re building this section as we drive it.

More coming as we travel it.

06, Offbeat

Offbeat

The places that don’t appear in packages yet. We’re mapping them the slow way, village by village.

07, Wildlife

Wildlife

Kaziranga’s rhinos, Manas’ river-tiger landscape, Pobitora’s guaranteed sightings and hornbills overhead, the Northeast is a wildlife secret.

08, Villages

Villages

Homestays, community tourism and the villages that built the Northeast’s reputation, Khonoma, Tuophema, Longwa, Ziro and the slow lanes between.

09, Music

Music

The Northeast sings, rock concerts at Hornbill, the Ziro Festival’s paddy-field stages, and church choirs that put cathedrals to shame.
