India’s Northeast Sightseeing Tour
Overview
Escape everyday life for a magical, enchanting immersion into the storybook realm of the Himalayas, where the unforgettable sights provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This 9-day guided tour through India’s northeast carries you to unexplored wonders: a park home to an abundance of wildlife (tigers, one-horned rhinos), roaring waterfalls, and glimmering lakes. But the charm doesn’t end at the staggering Himalayan scenery.
It continues with city explorations in Kolkata, where monumental temples await, and in vibrant Shillong. The India’s Northeast Sightseeing Tour unveils that India is much more than vibrant culture with jaw-dropping, architecturally pleasing temples, but it’s a country with one of the most stunning natural backdrops in the world. Outdoor enthusiasts who crave ancient tales and historical buildings while they’re exploring and discovering a new culture will love this tour.
