This year, we curated a Special Interest Tour to witness the legendary Holi celebrations in Barsana and Nandgaon — the land of Radha and Krishna, where colors are not just played, but lived.

From the vibrant streets of Barsana to the electrifying atmosphere of Nandgaon, our guests immersed themselves in devotion, culture, music, and tradition. The highlight, of course, was the iconic Lathmar Holi — where women playfully chase men with sticks in a centuries-old ritual that symbolizes divine love and folklore.

Our clients didn’t just watch the festival — they became part of it. Covered in colors, dancing to traditional songs, sharing laughter with locals, and experiencing the raw energy of one of India’s most unique celebrations. Safe, well-organized, and deeply authentic — just the way a Holi experience should be.

If you want to see Holi beyond the usual celebrations, travel with us where tradition meets passion and every color tells a story.

Every Wednesday, the hills of Niyamgiri come alive at Chatikona Market
This is where the Dongria Kondh—one of India’s most iconic indigenous communities—gather from remote hill villages to trade forest produce, grains, seeds, tools, and stories.

Known for their vibrant attire, striking jewellery, and deep spiritual bond with Niyam Raja, the Dongria Kondh are guardians of the sacred hills. Chatikona isn’t just a market—it’s a living museum of culture, resilience, and sustainable living.

With Alternative Tours, we visit Chatikona not as spectators, but as mindful guests—learning, observing, and respecting local customs while supporting community-based tourism.

Alternative Tours had the absolute joy of organising tours for the Hornbill Festival 2025 in the heart of Nagaland this year — and wow, what a celebration of culture, colour, and pure Naga spirit!

From the thunder of traditional log drums to the electrifying warrior dances, from soulful folk songs to the irresistible aroma of tribal kitchens… every moment felt alive, powerful, and deeply moving.

We’re thrilled to share some beautiful glimpses of this unforgettable festival — snapshots of heritage, smiles, traditions, and togetherness. Nagaland welcomed us with open arms, and our guests experienced the magic of the Hornbill like never before

We cannot wait to return next year — with even bigger energy, deeper cultural immersion, and many more memories to create together

Until then, enjoy these special moments from the Festival of Festivals!

Every year, on the banks of the Ganga and Gandak rivers in Bihar, the Sonepur Mela unfolds — one of India’s oldest and most vibrant fairs. Once known as the largest cattle fair in Asia, it’s now a living canvas of rural life, spirituality, and timeless traditions.

From sacred rituals at the Harihar Nath Temple to colourful bazaars, folk performances, and local cuisines — every corner tells a story of heritage and community.

This year, Alternative Tours India invites travellers to witness this incredible spectacle up close. Join our curated journey through the mela grounds, meet local artisans, enjoy traditional food, and experience the authentic charm of Bihar’s countryside.
