India - Nagaland & Arunachal Pradesh Photo Tour.

Join Nathan on an exciting new "research tour" of Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, two of India’s most remote northern regions, as we document the fascinating traditions of the Apatani and Konyak tribes while they still preserve their ancient ways of life. Our extraordinary journey through India's remote northeastern states begins in Delhi before we fly to the secluded Ziro Valley of Arunachal Pradesh. Here, nestled among pine-clad hills, we'll encounter the fascinating Apatani tribe, renowned for their unique cultural practices and remarkable agricultural expertise. The valley offers exceptional opportunities to photograph their innovative rice-cum-fish cultivation methods and distinctive terraced fields that have drawn the attention of agricultural scientists worldwide.

We'll spend several days immersed in Apatani village life, photographing the elderly women with their characteristic facial tattoos and nose plugs – a vanishing tradition that will soon be lost to time. The villages of Hong, Bulla, Hari, and Hija provide intimate settings for capturing authentic moments of daily life, traditional ceremonies, and the strong community bonds that define Apatani culture.
