Foreign tourists participate in Assam's Bohag Bihu festival

In a vibrant display of cultural exchange, tourists from America and England were captivated by the resounding beats of traditional Assamese instruments like the Dhol and Pepa during the Bohag Bihu celebrations in Kaliabor, Assam. The infectious spirit of the festival gripped the foreign visitors, compelling them to join in the revelry wholeheartedly.

A group of 20 tourists, arriving via MV Mahabahu, disembarked at the Shilghat River Ghat to immerse themselves in the festivities. Amidst the picturesque backdrop of Assam's natural beauty, the visitors were enthralled by the rhythmic Bihu dance performed by locals. The pulsating energy of the occasion proved irresistible to the foreign tourists, who enthusiastically participated in the traditional dance.

The allure of Assam's cultural extravaganza extended to the tranquil surroundings of the Kaliabor tea garden, where foreign women tourists found themselves spontaneously dancing atop a verdant green mound. This impromptu celebration underscored the profound impact of Assam's rich heritage on visitors from distant shores.

Notably, the increased accessibility of the river route has facilitated a surge in foreign tourists making their way to the historic town of Kaliabor. As the Bohag Bihu festivities continue to attract international attention, Assam's cultural tapestry finds itself woven with threads of global admiration and participation.
