Festivel in Tamenglong

Orange Festival :: The festival offers an opportunity for both the growers and fruit processing industries to clinch deals with orange farmers based on various aspects such as collection points, quantity of product, labour charges, transportation charges, etc. This resourceful but inadequately tapped district requires effective channeling of the available technological know how, quality fruit production, disease and pest management, post harvest technology, processing and effective marketing is the need of the hour. It will wean people away from the age old tradition of shifting cultivation which requires clearing the biodiversity rich thick jungles for growing crops for subsistence. Tamenglong people too do not enjoy Jhum cultivation any more. It is a hard work.
Tamenglong is blessed with many picturesque locations. The orange festival will be yet a curtain raiser of the campaign to popularize tourist spots in the district such as the mystical Tharon cave, the magnificent Barak waterfalls, the enchanting Bunning meadows and its exotic flowers, and the Zeilad lake, which hosts migratory birds every year.The orange festival cum craft exhibition is meant to facilitate the socio-economic upliftment of the people of this district.
