Festivals
So much in Asia depends on the calendar. In February in Beijing, more than 20 million people all set off fireworks to celebrate Chinese New Year. In Nagaland in India, tribes from all over the region meet to compete, dance, and celebrate. In Thailand, spectators look on as celebrants perform bizarre rituals at the Nine Emperor Gods Festival.
With an intimate and unique knowledge of Asian culture, Remote Lands knows the importance of experiencing culture the right way. Whether you want an up-close view of the Sing-Sing festival in the Asaro Valley of Papua New Guinea or a quiet walk through the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, Remote Lands can give travelers the best possible experience on their celebrations throughout Asia.

Diwali
October-November
Celebrated across Asia, Diwali (also known as the "festival of lights") is one of the most important festivals for Sri Lanka’s large Hindu community. Celebrations over five days really heat up on the night of the main day, with many donning their best outfits to light lamps and candles. A big family feast and fireworks follow later on.
