Dances form a vital element in the zest and joy of living of the tribals. They vary from highly stylized religious dance dramas of the Buddhists to the martial steps and colorful performances of the Noctes and Wanchos. Among the Adis, dance had evolved almost into an art form mainly for entertainment and recreation. The 'Ponung dance of Adis' is performed by teams of young girls in perfect rhythmic unison. Similar group dances in colorful costumes are performed by the Nishis and Tagins of Upper and Lower Subansiri.
The hotels were top of the line, the service was excellent, the guides were very knowledgeable and fluent in English, even the driver was very very helpful and quite prolific with the history of the places. Above all the staff helped us on 24/7 basis. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Traveloearth to anyone who is planning to go to India and is planning to have a good time. More >
