Welcome to the heart of Assam’s cultural tapestry, where amidst the tranquil landscape of the Hatipoti tea estate on the North Bank, near Biswanath Chariali, the annual folkTea festival comes to life. This unique jamboree brings together an eclectic mix of folk artists, nature enthusiasts, and campers seeking solace and spiritual connection away from the urban clamor.
Set against the backdrop of a small tea estate, our festival is a celebration of rural life, inviting you to immerse yourself in the simplicity and authenticity of the countryside. Each year, we gather to not only revel in the vibrant tapestry of folk culture but also to provide a platform for unrecognized and struggling folk artists from the remote corners of Northern Assam.
The idea behind folkTea is rooted in the desire to organically develop rural tourism within the tea gardens while ensuring sustainability and maximum benefits for the local communities. This minimalist approach allows us to create a space where visitors can connect with nature, live an earthy life in camps, and support the flourishing talent of rural folk artists.
As you explore the festival grounds, experience the rich heritage of tea through culinary delights, arts, and cultural performances. Engage in the thrill of a car rally, adding an adventurous edge to the serene surroundings. Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and find solace amidst the captivating beauty of the tea garden.
The folkTea festival is more than just an event; it’s a harmonious blend of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and adventure. Join us for an unforgettable experience as we celebrate the essence of folk culture amidst the enchanting tea gardens of Assam.
Mark your calendars for the annual folkTea festival, held every year in the 4th week of November. Come, join us, and be part of the celebration!
