Adventure 2023
Wokha Winter Fiesta, themed ‘Explore, Discover & Grow,’ promises a holistic experience by blending music, eco-tourism, and adventure. Scheduled for 7-13 December 2023, the event will feature Jwenga Sep, MLA Nagaland, and Temjen Imna Along, Nagaland Minister for Higher Technical & Education and Tourism, as the chief guests in the inaugural and closing ceremonies, respectively.
The event is designed to be an annual program with a vision to preserve and promote rich eco-tourism, along with the positive traditions and culture of our forefathers.
Emphasizing discovery and personal growth, participants can expect an immersive journey celebrating nature, music, and adventure. It is also a step towards promoting socio-economic sustainable development, better livelihood, and a brighter future, fostering a deeper connection with Doyang’s scenic beauty and the vibrant culture of the Lotha Nagas.
The organizer, Team Metamorphosis, is a non-profit voluntary organization founded in 2005 with the sole aim of working for the uplift of society. It acts as a medium to create awareness among the unemployed by providing education and vocational training, helping the underprivileged community through capacity building, craft activities, education, and livelihood. The organization promotes fine arts like music, indigenous games, and eco-tourism, while also organizing capacity development programs to promote and strengthen community institutions.
The Doyang River, considered important for Wokha district and Nagaland, offers an ideal spot for various water sports activities, musical galas, trekking, and other recreational pleasures with its massive open water space. With its rich natural resources and scenic beauty, adventures like mountain biking, motor boating, and ziplining above the waters can provide extra thrills and a rush of adrenaline.
Outdoor camping and capacity building in the field of hospitality and related areas can create massive employment opportunities in the near future. The citizens of Wokha District can explore and create consistent methods for inclusive sustainable development, strengthening the aim of promoting eco-tourism with sustainable development practices that have the potential to generate self-employment for the locals.
The organizers are optimistic that thousands of people from nearby Assam, such as Merapani, Golaghat, and Jorhat, will join in the festival activities. The organizers extend an invitation to every citizen of Wokha and nearby districts to come and enjoy the music, organic foods, indigenous games, adventures, and experience the vast beautiful natural resources and the colorful Lotha Naga Cultural Heritage.
