Kaziranga & the North Bank
Drive out at first light for the quieter Northern Range — grassland, rhino country and the wilder side of the great river, well away from the crowded gates.
India's only open-air folk festival amidst tea gardens
Hatipoti Tea Estate · Biswanath Chariali · Assam
India's only open-air folk festival, set amidst the living tea gardens of Hatipoti. Over two days, FolkTea celebrates the culture, community and heritage of Assam's tea belt — with indigenous music, sport, food and starlit nights.
The Gala Evening on 28 November supports Digitizing Assam, preserving the state's heritage for generations to come.
A curated Gala Evening by invitation, followed by a free festival open to all.
Register early — entries and guaranteed accommodation are limited.

Sleep under canvas in the living tea gardens of Hatipoti — and wake with the whole North Bank of Assam at your doorstep.
A tent at FolkTea is more than a place to sleep. It is a starting line. From this clearing in the tea — bushes running to the horizon, the Eastern Himalaya rising beyond — you set out into a corner of Assam that most maps still leave blank. Days belong to the road and the trail; nights belong to the bonfire, the jam and a sky thick with stars.
Drive out at first light for the quieter Northern Range — grassland, rhino country and the wilder side of the great river, well away from the crowded gates.
Follow the backroads through Nomorah and on towards Sijusa, where the tea belt gives way to forest and the foothills begin to climb.
Point north on the newly opened route towards Itanagar — a climb out of the plains into Arunachal Pradesh, its ridges and its cool mountain air.
Between the named places lie the real finds — river islands, cart tracks, working villages and forest edges for anyone willing to wander off the highway.
