Hill Jatra
Hill Jatra is one of Kumaon's most distinctive folk festivals, rooted in the agrarian traditions of Pithoragarh. Originating from the Sorar region of West Nepal, this vibrant celebration unfolds through masked performances, dramatic re-enactments of paddy plantation, and processional dances dedicated to regional deities. The iconic characters of Lakhiya Bhoot, Hiran Chittal and Mahakali take centre stage, accompanied by traditional music and folk performances that bring centuries of Kumaoni heritage alive for audiences in the capital.
