The venue of the event, Miao, itself has been designated as a global village as it conjoins the diverse tribes of the North East region to display their customs and cultures in a broader perspective. The cultural carnival has cut across social barriers, inspiring the secluded regions to celebrate the ethnic existences that strongly bond all the distinct tribes with diverse cultures and different religious backgrounds.

The humility and straightforwardness of the locals add integrity to the magical valley. Here, laidback life offers plenty of time to tribal hospitality. Be there to share in the simple musical elation of life. The NECF 2011 hosts the tribal spirit, cuisines, customs, and the environmental existence in this land of the Rising Sun. It’s a joy to explore the tribal land in the vicinity of Namdapha National Park and begin one’s voyage towards the shrouded paradise.

Sometimes ordinary moments offer the most extraordinary moments of life and linger in our memories like the freshest of fragrances. The NECF 2011 will be one of those extraordinary moments - moments on the  trekking trail, curbing the lure to pluck the wild orchids; the breathless moments as a barking deer gallops by without warning; the rapid panting and the urge to rest after a disastrous chase of beautiful butterflies; the effort to comprehend the melodies in the local dialects; the attempts in the sign language while trying to bargain for indigenous artifacts; restraining the urge to join a group of beautiful dancing belles; savoring the taste of the local cuisine and  brew.
