oHeritage Hotel HERITAGE HOTEL $$ (%9774416649; movie times winter park village www.theheritage.in; Offi cers Hill; r/ ste 1800/3500; W) Back in colonial days this was the home of the deputy commissioner and, with roaring open fires taking the chill off a cold winter night and hunting trophies and tribal arts adorning the walls, it retains something of the flavour of those times.

Some 3km west on Mahatma Gandhi Marg is Ganga Market, landmarked movie times winter park village by a red, triple-spired temple and nearby clock tower. The market itself is a busy clash of peoples from across the borderlands as well as piles of colourful fruit and some other decidedly exotic food items. The good-value Hotel Blue Pine (%2211118; s 300-500, d 500-600) is here, with well-maintained rooms and a mix of common and private bathrooms. Don t mind the caged receptionist, he s quite tame and helpful.

CENTRAL ARUNACHAL S TRIBAL GROUPS The variety of tribal peoples movie times winter park village in central Arunachal Pradesh movie times winter park village is astonishing, but although movie times winter park village the Adi (Abor), Nishi, Tajin, Hill Miri and various other Tibeto-Burman tribes movie times winter park village consider themselves different from one another most are at least distantly related. Over the last few decades Christian missionaries have been highly active movie times winter park village throughout the Northeast and in the process have brought huge changes to the region s traditional cultures, religious movie times winter park village beliefs and ways of life. Despite this, some aspects of the traditional lifestyle are just about holding on and many people continue to practise the traditional religion of Donyi-Polo (sun and moon) worship sometimes at the same time as proclaiming themselves Christian. For ceremonial occasions, village chiefs typically wear scarlet shawls movie times winter park village and a bamboo wicker hat spiked movie times winter park village with porcupine quill or hornbill feathers. A few old men still wear their hair long, tied around to form a topknot movie times winter park village above their foreheads. Women favour hand-woven wraparounds like Southeast Asian sarongs. House designs vary somewhat. Traditional Adi villages are generally the most photogenic with luxuriant palmyra-leaf thatching and boxlike granaries stilted to deter rodents.

Like a practice run for Sivasagar, Gaurisagar has an attractive tank and a trio of distinctive 1720s temples Vishnudol, movie times winter park village Shivadol and Devidol built by dancing girl queen Phuleswari. The more impressive is Vishnudol, not as tall as Sivasagar s Shivadol but sporting finer, but eroded carvings. Gaurisagar is on the main NH37 at Km501.5. movie times winter park village
