The North East of India is a journey into the unexpected. For first time travellers, it offers a landscape so rich in culture, nature, and charm that every stop feels like a new chapter in a story you will never forget.
Begin in Meghalaya with Shillong’s vibrant streets and the calm of Umiam Lake. Then make your way to Cherrapunji where living root bridges and misty waterfalls create scenes that seem pulled from a dream.
Next, head to Arunachal Pradesh where Tawang’s monasteries and snow draped passes will steal your breath. The silence here has depth, broken only by prayer flags fluttering in the wind.
Nagaland adds contrast with its tribal warmth and craft heritage. If timed right, the Hornbill Festival offers a powerful peek into traditions that feel timeless.
Wrap up your trip with the tea scented breeze of Assam. From Kaziranga’s wild rhinos to the slow ferry to Majuli Island, this part of your journey soothes and stirs in equal measure.
The North East is not just a trip. It is a memory in motion.
