Curtain Call Adventures

About Curtain Call Adventures

From the misty hills of Meghalaya and the droning chants of Sikkim monastery, to Arunachal Pradesh’s delectable cuisine, or Manipur’s intricate textile weavers, there are new worlds, cultures and cuisines to find tucked away in India’s northeastern regions.

Curtain Call Adventures was born with the mission of pushing past the boundaries of spectator tourism. We strive to cultivate the perfect travel experience for culture vultures, adventure seekers or families alike. With our founder, Julie Kagti and her team of local experts, the remotest of getaways will all come with the comforts of home.

Curtain Call Adventures was born with a vision to share the experiences that were part and parcel of her life growing up in the tea plantations of Assam in the verdant semi-tropical forest region of the Brahmaputra valley. The team, spear headed by Julie, have got a mix of rural and urban activities both for young children and adults to make it a perfect travel experience for your client.

Immersive Journeys

While some travel styles involve seeing a new culture or place as a spectator,immersive travel means being completely surrounded with the newness of an unfamiliar place and meaningfully engaging with it’s history, culture, people and environment.

Low impact, responsible tourism ties in with the basic philosophy of truly ‘immersive travel’.
