🏔️ Embark on an extraordinary (15-day) exploration of Arunachal Pradesh, a hidden gem in India’s northeastern frontier where spirituality, awe-inspiring landscapes and time-honored traditions converge in perfect harmony.
At the heart of this remarkable journey stands Tawang Monastery—a beacon of serenity and heritage. As India’s largest and the world’s second-largest, Buddhist monastery, it perches at an altitude of 10,000 feet; its gilded rooftops shimmering against a backdrop of snow-dusted peaks. The air hums with sacred (chants of monks), creating an atmosphere of profound tranquility.
🌉 Sela Pass: Soar to (13,700 feet) above sea level, where frozen lakes mirror the grandeur of the Himalayan wilderness. Each twist in the road unveils tales of courage and myth.
🕉️ Bomdila: Discover hallowed monasteries, forge connections with Monpa tribes and bask in sweeping Himalayan vistas.
🐅 Nameri National Park: Drift along serene rivers; where rhinos, tigers and elusive bird species thrive in pristine wilderness. However, this journey is not merely about breathtaking sights; it also invites deep reflection and connection with nature. Although challenges arise, the beauty of the surroundings provides solace and inspiration, because each experience is unique and transformative.
🏡 Dirang: Step into a world of ancient villages and vibrant tribal traditions (immersing yourself in the rhythms of highland life).
Here, time slows down; every encounter leaves an indelible mark. However, the essence of this journey is found in the moments that resonate with you (and those you share them with), because, although the landscapes are stunning, it is the connections that truly enrich the experience.
Duration:
🗓️ 15 days
💰 From: £4,750 per person

Celebrating Holi: A Dazzling Exploration of Spring, Mythology, and Unity 🇮🇳
As spring awakens India in a riot of colours, we celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colours! This vibrant spectacle transcends mere revelry, boasting a rich tapestry of cultural and historical significance.
A Journey Through Time: Fascinating Facts about Holi
Ancient Origins: Holi’s roots stretch back centuries, with references found in texts dating as far back as the 4th century AD.
Myths and Legends: The festival is deeply intertwined with Hindu mythology. One captivating story tells of Prahlad, a devotee of Vishnu, who remained unharmed in a fiery attempt on his life. The bonfire lit on the eve of Holi, Holika Dahan, commemorates the burning of evil in the form of Holika, a demon.
Love and Play: Another popular legend associates Holi with the playful love story of Radha and Krishna. It’s said that Krishna would playfully smear colours on Radha’s face, a tradition that continues today with the throwing of coloured powders called “gulal.” This signifies the breaking down of social barriers and the embrace of playful joy.
More Than Just Colour: The Profound Message of Holi
Beyond the dazzling spectacle, Holi offers a powerful message of unity, forgiveness, and the triumph of good over evil. It’s a time to shed inhibitions, mend broken relationships, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of life.
Experience the Spirit of Holi: How You Can Join the Celebration
Embrace the Tradition: Don the customary white attire – a perfect canvas for the symbolic transformation of colours!
Craft Your Own Colours: Explore creating your own natural “gulal” using safe ingredients like chickpea flour and beetroot powder for an authentic touch.
Connect Virtually: Share the joy of Holi greetings with loved ones in India, fostering a sense of connection despite distance.
