Culture

Cultural tours in Meghalaya and Assam offer a deep dive into the region's rich heritage, blending history, art, and traditions. In Assam, you can explore the vibrant culture of the Ahom dynasty through historical sites like the Talatal Ghar and Sivasagar, where ancient temples and royal palaces tell the story of a kingdom that ruled for over 600 years. The Satras of Assam are another cultural highlight, where you can witness the teachings of Vaishnavism, enjoy devotional Borgeet music, and explore unique traditional crafts like muga silk weaving.

In Meghalaya, immerse yourself in the traditions of the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes. A visit to Nongkrem or Shad Suk Mynsiem festivals gives you a chance to witness vibrant dance, music, and rituals. The state’s traditional villages, like those in Cherrapunji or Mawlynnong, showcase unique handicrafts, such as handwoven bamboo baskets and Mizo shawls, reflecting the skill and creativity of the local communities.

Cultural tours in both states also offer opportunities to experience local culinary delights, such as assamese thali in Assam and pork with bamboo shoots in Meghalaya. Whether you’re exploring ancient temples, traditional festivals, or artisan markets, these cultural tours provide a rich, immersive experience that connects you with the heart and soul of Northeast India.
