Arunachal Pradesh and the Reh Festival
17 days from £4365 per person

Arunachal Pradesh is not only North East India's largest and most remote state but is also one of the least densely populated. Stretching from the foothills of the eastern Himalayas to the mountainous peaks of the north, the state has a truly rich tribal heritage with strong links to neighbouring Burma. Starting in neighbouring Assam, this itinerary combines staggering scenery and the wonderful national parks of Kaziranga and Dibru Saikhowa with the tea estates of Dibrugarh and the villages of Wakro and Roing - heartland of the Mishmi tribe and setting for the colourful Reh Festival.
