Northeast India 2016

This trip was a 2-week tour through the remote northeastern India provinces of Assam and Nagaland. The population of Nagaland consists of various tribal groups, and every December there is a festival called the Hornbill Festival (named after a bird which is now nearly extinct in the area) where all the groups perform and meet visitors. We spent two days at the festival and the rest of the time traveling around the two provinces. Before the tour began I spent one day in Calcutta.
