Tripura Tour- The Land of Kirat

Rubber and tea are the two cash crops that contribute the most to the state's economy. The state of Kerala produces the most natural rubber in the country, whereas Tripura is in second place. The state is famous for its handicrafts, particularly its bamboo items, wood carvings, and handwoven cotton textiles. In particular, the bamboo goods have become very popular. The tourist industry in Tripura is only beginning to scratch the surface of its potential. It is blessed with a broad variety of tourist attractions, including historical buildings, palaces, water features, temples, mosques, and Buddhist stupas of religious significance, as well as woods, animals, traditional crafts, and a vast range of cultures. In addition, it has a wealth of natural characteristics, such as wildlife and forests. As evidence, various royal palaces and other ancient buildings can be found in Tripura, which is one of the oldest inhabited locations in the Northeast region of India. The Ujjayanta Palace in Agartala, which is considered to be the city's most famous royal palace, is home to the State Museum. Bamboo stalk, rice flour, and Berma are the three main ingredients in the preparation of a Tripuri delicacy known as Muya Awandru. The Kosoi Bwtwi is made using berma and beans as the primary ingredients. The meal known as muya bai Wahan is another option that may be prepared using bamboo shoots, jackfruit, papaya, and pork.

Travel Sketches (Nov 2023 - March 2024)

Nov 2023.

Bishnumaya just turned 100 this October. She comes from Pokhari, about 15 kilometers from Mirik town. As we spoke, she recalled old memories, her expressions shifting as if reliving those moments. She seemed elsewhere, gazing past me into the distance, and then, as if continuing a conversation with herself, she said, “Nowadays people ask about caste when they meet someone, and how is that of any use?”

She described how, when she was small, there were no proper schools in her village. She learned to read and write, however little, by arranging corn kernels on the ground to form shapes that resembled letters and numbers. Reflecting on her long life, she added that everyone around her—friends her age and younger siblings—is dead, and she feels like a monster who swallowed them all.

The sun is out, but it’s only warm where the light falls. The history of Mirik is reflected in its lake, which used to be a marshland. According to Wikipedia, the name Mirik comes from the Lepcha words Mir-Yok, meaning "place burnt by fire." It's very green now for a place that was once burnt.

A town fair is underway, offering a range of attractions: a Ferris wheel, flower park visits, fast food stalls, ice cream carts, horse and boat rides, live pop music, card game betting, balloon shooting, local bingo-type card games, and hoopla with prizes up for grabs. Some prizes are cash with notes of 20, 50, and 100 rupees.

——

For the past ten years, I haven't had a permanent home. When I wanted to sidestep the weight of planning and longed for comfort and familiarity, I returned to places I liked a little more than others: Auroville, Dharamshala, Shillong, Aizawl, Nagaland. 

I like meeting new people and have formed what feels like extended families in some of these places. Since I have mostly felt free to move around, sometimes nostalgia of people or a time or a curiosity to see how things may have changed would draw me back to a place.

Earlier in August, while I was temporarily living in Auroville, I got a call about a six-month project called The Great Himalayan Exploration, a collaboration between UNESCO and Royal Enfield. The project aims to document the intangible cultural heritage of local communities in the Himalayan region of Northeast India.

My work on this trip specifically involved photographing the people behind various cultural practices and examining the ecosystems they exist in. To build context, I engaged in various methods, such as scanning old photos from people’s personal albums, taking photos of their living spaces, landscapes, and exploring archival resources. From November to April, we were in West Bengal, Sikkim, Tripura, Mizoram, Assam, Nagaland, and Meghalaya.

------

On our way back to Siliguri from Mirik, we made a lengthy stop near a tea estate. Lalita, from Tingling village, shared that she had spent two decades working on the estate, much like many other women from the village. Their collective hope was to earn a minimum of 500 rupees per day for their labor. Currently, they are receiving 250 rupees per day for an eight-hour shift.

------

Sanchamaya, 74, sits with her friend Bodhimaya in the front yard of her house in Darap, both lifelong farmers of the area and belonging to the Limbu community. They're nice and welcoming. It's our second day in Pelling, West Sikkim, and I've ended up at the wrong house. Today, we're supposed to see a drum dance(chyabrung) performance by local Limbu boys, which I'll catch later.

They talk in basic broken Hindi, with Shusan translating most of it. Sanchamaya leads me to the back of their house, where she proudly shows me trays of dried large cardamoms. Later, we'll visit her cardamom field. They also cultivate Mosambi, oranges, guavas, maize, peas, ginger, and onions. Sanchamaya spends her days with her friend, grandchildren, working in the fields, and cooking in the kitchen.

------

I visited Chuba village, 3 hours away from Gangtok, with Semeon from Haflong, Assam, a textile design graduate from NID and working at Sonam’s design studio called EchoStream based in Gangtok. Semeon was familiar with the village and the community I was there to meet. Arun Gurung and his wife, founders of Chubako, are endeavoring to revive an old tradition of sourcing wool from indigenous banpala sheep to make clothes. They operate a small cooperative called Chubako. In this village of 43 families, one person from each household now works for Chubako. (photo above: Arun Gurung, founder of Chubako)

(photo below: Designed by Sanskruti Shukla, co-created with the craft community of Chubako for Echostream, Gangtok)

Local stories of the craftspeople of Chuba are showcased and incorporated into wool through interactive workshops focused on storytelling and design development. The felted art rugs depict the flora and fauna of Sikkim.

Gangamaya Gurung, 83, Arun Gurung's mother, lit up like a child when she saw Semeon. They shared a bond akin to best friends. Despite her age, Gangamaya remains active, tending to sheep, cutting grass, farming, and weaving. When asked about her leisure activties, she said, "eat, watch TV - eat, watch TV."

Jan, 2024.

We have been out on this trip for 3 months. My thoughts scattered in a kind of bardo between the world I know and the world I am coming into contact with. I picture house fronts with flowers in Darjeeling, roads winding, the long cold rivers snaking toward mountains that seem no bigger than my thumb, the snow capped peaks shifting colours, the prayer flags in high altitudes and on house doors. Gangtok’s Lal Bazaar skateboarders flash by, a school in Tripura where a student lives on 700rs a month, nini bung tamo and 4 other sentences I learned in Kokborok nag me like a tune. Sidangcherra to Pecharthal to Panisagar to Damchara checkpoint we make our way from Tripura into Mizoram by road. I think about where I will be later in the summer and see a white fluffed cloud taking the shape of a growing tree far on the horizon.

——

Krismas Ruaitheh(Christmas feast) at Khatla Presbyterian Church, Aizawl. This is my 3rd time in Aizawl. I used to go for dinners, sometime evening tea to my friend’s family house further up the road from the Khatla church. We are here to document the traditional community feast of the Mizos.

Priscilla is currently pursuing her BA in Political Science in Delhi, and she's home for the holidays. She was volunteering at Khatla Presbyterian Church where she and her friends were tasked with serving lemonade, a customary drink after the meal. For Priscilla, the most remarkable aspect of the feast is its longstanding tradition — dating back to pre-Christian times — where the entire community comes together to share its moments of joy and sorrow + they still use Changel Hnah (plantain leaves) — the traditional way to serve meals.

-----

On an idle walk one evening in Khatla, I find myself in a local thrift store and get invited to meet James Lalhmingliana. He is 80, one of the founding members of Aizawl's first bike club, Aizawl Thunders. He went to school at Sts. Edmund’s in Shillong.

In 1966, he joined the Mizo National Front uprising, fighting for freedom. He went underground for seven years, first in Arakan, Burma, then in 1969 to East Pakistan for shelter. "It was useless," he says. "We wasted our good years. When I came back, I was put in jail, but not for long."

He has been housebound for years due to his health.

———

At 8 am on a cold January morning, we arrive at Joonbeel Mela. (Joon and beel are Assamese terms for moon and wetland. The Tiwa community first organized this in the 15th century to exchange goods between indigenous tribal communities in Assam and the surrounding areas.)

It is known as the only fair in India where people still practice barter, exchanging goods like fish, sweet potatoes, yam, homegrown vegetables, turmeric, chili, kali miri, and rongalau.

Over a few hours, I have brief interactions with people from Jagiroad, Pamlatar, Deosal, Sira, Changsari, Potia Pathar, Bengenabari, Palahguri, ulukunchi, morigaon, Nagaon, Saru Amli, Belguri, Damal, and places as far as Langpih, mawlynnong in Meghalaya.  No one refuses a photo.

—

This is my fifth time in Nagaland. I first came here ten years ago and stayed at Kevesho's home. He is the father of the Tetseo Sisters, a well-known folk group of four sisters from Nagaland.

Kevesho Tetseo, son of Nülhüprü Tetseo was born in 1950s in Thüvopisümi village, Phek District, Nagaland. Initially schooled in the village, he finished his HSLC at Government High School in Kohima and graduated from Kohima College in Arts. He worked in the Education Dept. for sometime and now retired. Active in cultural music, Chokri language preservation, and in church choir since his youth.

(Tati - - a single string musical instrument which is used as an accompaniment with singing of li- indigenous songs by the Chakhesang Nagas.) 

Kevesho learned how to make Tati from observing elders in his village when he was young and has done Tati making work since 1990s and a good number of it has been produced till date by him including improvising it for longer life by using steel wires as strings.

He tells me, the woven shawl he is wearing in the picture is "thipiqhü". It is the most prestigious shawl (indigenous cloth) among many traditional clothes of the Chakhesang tribe. It is a shawl they wear with humility and honour.

“Nagaland is my home and I love my culture, its rich traditional heritage, and the natural beauty.”

Daisy Yaden was born in Zotlang, Mizoram. She studied at the Welsh Mission School in Mission Veng, Aizawl. She will turn 98 this June. She learned to weave shawls on a backstrap loom, stitching, and baking from her mother, often baking cakes in the fireplace. She taught in the interiors of Nagaland, in places like Noklak and Changtongya. She started her career by teaching people self-sufficiency—how to cook, make jams and pickles—skills she picked up from a British magazine called Woman’s Own. She used to compose little tunes for children at Sunday school. She loves flower gardening and her favourite film is "Gone with the Wind."

Photographed at her house in Duncan, Dimapur.

I am sitting with Marian, Daisy's daughter, at her house in Duncan. Marian, now 75, lived in Bombay from 1970 to 2012. She went to college there and worked as an air hostess with Air India for 34 years. In 2012, she returned to Nagaland. We agreed to meet again for lunch and look at her old photo albums.

Khinchi is Christian, and Sindri is Songsarek, belonging to one of the last animism practising communities. I learned a few words in Achik: Khading bo, Methela, Namja, and Manja. Here I am in the extended kitchen space at Sindri's hut, in Sadolpara, Dadenggre, where they are taking a break from cooking lunch.

Immerse In The Natural Beauty Of The North Eastern Hills

India is a diverse country in every way possible and its vast landscapes consist of various terrains and weather patterns giving tourists the adventures they seek. The mountainous terrains of North Eastern India have a great catalog of tourism and holiday destinations, all lining up on the Himalayan range. The sheer beauty and solace have been the biggest reason for people visiting in bulk in different seasons and the rise of North East Tour Packages. 

When talking about North East India touring, it is important to understand the states that make up the North-East part. Typically, there are 7 sister states and 1 brother state that comprises the entire North Eastern zone of India. However, when considering touring the northern parts of West Bengal, such as the Darjeeling Gangtok tour packages are sometimes included within North Eastern Touring programs. 

The brother state is Sikkim and the seven sister states are Mizoram, Manipur, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Nagaland. From the numerous hill stations to the breathtaking natural beauty coupled with the perfect weather, the North Eastern states of India have everything required to become such a beloved destination for vacationing. North East Tour Packages attract families, solo backpackers, and friend groups to visit these beautiful locations from around the country and across the borders. 

How To Best Plan A Trip To North East India?

In order to plan a trip to North East Indian states, tourists must know about the seasons and weathering situations. There are typically three seasons when the tourism is at peak but the weathering conditions can change anytime, so, it has to be kept in mind. Darjeeling Gangtok tour packages are mostly conducted in the monsoons, while other states can be best explored in other seasons. 

Assam

For exploring all eight North-East Indian states, Assam is often the place from where tourist agencies like to begin their complete trip of the region. The ideal period for visiting Assam and exploring its vast landscape is between November and April, or throughout the whole of Winter. 

Arunachal Pradesh

North East Tour Packages tend to consider the best season for touring Arunachal Pradesh to be during the months of October and April. The 6-month-long tour passage allows the visitors to witness three separate seasons, monsoon, winter, and summer. 

Darjeeling-Gangtok

As mentioned earlier, the Darjeeling-Gangtok touring sessions are mostly focused around the monsoon and maybe even at the start of winter. The Darjeeling Gangtok tour packages are aligned accordingly to avoid weathering woes and other disruptions to the journey. 

Meghalaya

The state of Meghalaya could use a separate tour and in either case, the right time to visit these enchanting lands is during summer and monsoons, namely between October to April. From the capital hill station Shillong to the wettest places inside the Indian borders, Mawsinrum and Cherrapunji, Meghalaya is a pretty place almost in between clouds. 

Manipur

North East Tour Packages will plan the Manipur trip sometime in winter. The winterś in Manipur is perhaps too pleasant with temperatures dipping as low as 5 degrees but not to a freezing climate. 

Mizoram

Mizoram is another North-Eastern state that must be visited during winter time as the temperatures only get as low as 10 degrees and do not go much over 20. Apart from the wonderful weather, Mizoram also has mesmerizing landscapes and several places for sightseeing for visitors.  

Nagaland

Nagaland is another north Indian state that is home to several indigenous tribes surrounded by vast hills and a very deep-rooted connection to individual tribal cultures. 

Tripura

The North East Tour Packages remain incomplete without visiting the remote hills of Tripura. It is another North-Eastern state to have a vast tribal population and a few religious and architectural marvels that captivate tourists to visit the place at least once. 

Sikkim

Sikkim is a renowned tourist destination that needs no introduction. Every other Indian middle-class family tends to once go on vacations on Darjeeling Gangtok tour packages which may also include Sikkim as an extended trip planning. These northeast Indian states are among the most admired hill stations in all of India.  For more details about the North East tour packages, contact Swan Tours today!
