Northeast India is where my heart lies. Being a daughter of this land, I find myself extremely privileged when I get opportunities to show the world the rich cultural heritage of this part of India. My heart swells with pride for belonging to Northeast India and its rich culture that we inherit. Till a few decades ago, the idea of traveling to this part of India was an elusive one for many. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With time, people are now exposed to the richness of the soil, the indefinable beauty of raw and rustic landscapes, unique cultural diversity,<\/span> and genuine yet simple tribal communities. <\/span>North East India<\/a> is no longer a distant land. Festivals like Ziro, Tawang, NH7 Weekender, Orange,<\/strong> <\/a><\/b><\/em>and <\/span>Hornbill<\/em><\/strong><\/a> have opened their arms wide in front of the world, inviting them to come and experience this exotic land.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arunachal Pradesh has always been one of my favorite states in the North East. I spent a fair amount of time on my first visit to Tawang<\/a><\/strong> and the kind of warmth I received from the locals during my maiden trip was enormous. So, when I got an invite to be a part of the Basar Confluence 3.0<\/strong> this year, I could not even dare to say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feeling of going back to my land to explore my own backyard and the opportunity to spend time with the Galo<\/strong> community in the most spectacular surrounding made me hooked on to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
