Tribal Tours in India: Peeking into the Lives of Unknown
Civilization and family system started with formation of tribes, many of which still in existence. Tribals stick to their original customs and traditions and hold on to their identities in some of the remotest corners of the world. Resisting vagaries of time and foreign influences tooth and nail, there are a number of tribes in India that make an interesting study for those who would like to see evolution of the modern-day world first-hand. Tribal tours of India often take you to far-away destinations in India that are might not be as famous as Taj Mahal but are as stimulating and exciting as an exploration of the unknown.
About 8% of Indian population consists of far-away tribes, largely living under poverty line in far-flung areas, often beyond government reach and help from outside. Strictly following their traditions and customs, tribal tours in India introduce you to people who might be welcoming but inherently suspicious of outsiders. Their innumerable superstitions limiting their contact with anything new and modern, tribals in India have managed to survive for so long with the strength of their unshakeable beliefs in their gods and deities.
A Tribal India Tour will help you mingle with the tribes that have finally accepted the ‘change' and have become more urbanized; as well as tribes who refuse to use electricity and even basic amenities because they are afraid that it might corrupt their culture. Traditional songs and dances of Nagas, Khasis, Mizos, Boros, Jaintias, and Cacharis in the Northeast and exotic customs of Santhals in Bastar in Chattisgarh captivate fancy of the tourists. Hand-woven clothes worn by Todas, one of the prominent tribes of South India, is well appreciated in India and abroad.
An Indian tribal tour offers you a closer look of the social customs, festivals, folk arts, and lifestyle of endemic people in the country. Orissa itself has as many as 62 tribal communities that reside deep in jungles and woods and mainly survive on hunting, fishing and gathering food from the forests. Their rich culture and colorful dance performances form the highlight of the most prominent tribal tours in India.
Bhil and Mina tribes in Rajasthan are believed to date back to 1400 B.C. The other tribes in the desert state include famous Banjaras who lead nomadic lives and Meo trbes. Tribes of Rajasthan are known for their religious practices and customs. Most of the men in these tribes are blacksmiths or rear cattle. Performing acrobatic and folk dance performances during fairs and festivals of Rajasthan is another avenue that fetches money for Rajasthan tribal.
Tribal India Tour Packages also take you to the unspoiled hills and verdant greenery of Arunachal Pradesh, the land of friendly tribes that stringently follow their customs. Some of these trines are Adi, Aka, Apatani, Khampti, Miris, Misaim, Monpa, Nishi, Nocte, Padma, Sherdukpen, Singpho, Tagin, Tangsha, and Wancho. Gujarat too offers unique opportunities of tribal tours where you can see tribal in their natural habitats. Females covered in bangles from wrist to shoulders and wearing enormous nose rings form the highlight of Gujarat tribal tours.
