About North East
India's North East is seven states of mountains, tea and tribal culture. Our core route crosses from Assam's Brahmaputra plains over the 4,170 m Sela Pass to Tawang, home of India's largest monastery.
On the way back, Kaziranga National Park has two-thirds of the world's greater one-horned rhinos, seen on jeep safaris (elephant-back rides run when the park offers them).
- Best time
- October to April. Kaziranga's central range is open November to April; Sela Pass can close briefly after heavy snow.
- Ideal trip
- 8–9 days for Tawang and Kaziranga
- Getting there
- Fly into Guwahati. Tawang is two driving days away, broken at Dirang or Bomdila.
- For visitors from abroad
- Indian travellers need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Arunachal Pradesh; foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP). We apply for both before you travel.
