Overview
This Northeast India tour package is the grand tour of the region, linking its three most iconic experiences. Begin in Meghalaya with Shillong, Cherrapunji's waterfalls and Dawki's crystal-clear river, then head to Kaziranga for rhino safaris in the Brahmaputra floodplains.
From Kaziranga the road climbs into Arunachal Pradesh, overnighting at Bomdila before crossing Sela Pass to Tawang, where India's largest monastery and the high lakes toward Bum La await. The return via Dirang completes a loop through Northeast India's most dramatic landscapes and cultures.
