Our planet is an incredibly diverse place when it comes to the people who inhabit it, and we’ve devoted a lot of time and resources to seeking out the hidden pockets where local culture is at its best – not yet tainted by the sweeping wave of modernity. From remote African tribes to isolated villages in the Caucasus Mountains, we’ve looked far and wide to bring you the best in authentic traditions, festivals and ceremonies. Spend a week with the Wodaabe at their Gerewol Festival, learn how to hunt with eagles in Mongolia, or experience the arcane secrets of a Bwiti ritual in the Africa rainforest – it’s all here.
