We believe that such festivals bring people of different communities closer and enable in eroding the negative myths about North East Region (NER).
NER is a culturally diverse and rich region with its own socio-anthropological history. Its terrain is perfect for adventure Tourism but unfortunately many are not aware of it. This festival has been organised to bring Delhi-NCR people closer to its culture”.
