Tegham Spring Festival Hunza - Overview

The Tegham Spring Festival is a communal spring event celebrated each year in Gulmit to mark the start of irrigation. The festival symbolizes the beginning of agriculture and brings the village together in shared celebration. The community of Gulmit comes together and rejoices in the arrival of spring. The century-old ritual known as Tumangh is performed, followed by a communal feast.

The main highlights of our Tegham Spring Festival Tour are

  • Experiencing the “Tumangh” event, a ceremonial initiation of the farming season performed by the Bori tribe in Gulmit.
  • Feasting on a local delicacy known as “Semn,” served collectively after the event. The meal is especially prepared for the festival.

Although the festival is celebrated in all villages across Hunza Valley, Gulmit, the headquarters of Upper Hunza, stands out as a prominent venue.

The Wakhi people inhabiting Upper Hunza, Gojal Valley, celebrate the Tegham Spring Festival, also called "Shogun Bohor."
