Venue :  Nampong,  is an EAC HQ of Changlang district, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
Celebrated By :  Tangsas Tribe.
Duration : 03 Days.

Nampong, the venue of the Pangsau Pass Winter Festival, is an EAC HQ of Changlang district (situated in the southeastern part of Arunachal Pradesh, North East India). A small hilly town along the Indo-Myanmar border and Namchik basin, it is covered with evergreen tropical rainforest.
The venue of the event, Nampong, itself has been designated as a global village as it conjoins the diverse tribes of the North East region and of Myanmar 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. If you are a bona fide eco-trekker or regard yourself to be a serious global explorer, pack your bag, discard your reservations, buy a ticket and travel down to the land of dawn lit mountains, Arunachal Pradesh, to explore and experience the powerful magic of Pangsau Pass Winter Festival. During the three-day extravaganza, survive the heady thrill of the folk songs and dances, the ethnic food fiesta, traditional sports, the Pangsau Pass expedition, sightseeing, eco-trekking, angling, boating on the Rima river...the list is never ending. The Tangsa hospitality is overwhelming and one of the best in the world. The local delicacies are mouth watering, the smiles contagious, the gazes curious, the responses cordial, and the attitude towards strangers amicable, which makes this place an ideal destination to visit.

Along with the festival there are other things of tourist attraction. The historical Stilwell Road does not need any introduction, being the gateway of trade for the entire North East region. Driving down the serpentine Stilwell Road magnifies the excitement manifold, and while on the move, on the way to the festival ground, there is another place of utmost importance - the WW-II cemetery that reminds one of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers to secure our today.
