Disconnected by jungles and the Himalayas, we’ll roadtrip off the beaten path searching some of the most interesting tribes in Asia. From the Konyak “headhunters” of Nagaland to the Atapani in Arunachal Pradesh. We’ll journey across valleys, villages, and river islands searching for wild experiences and incredible travel stories with the best possible travel family.
