Highlights

Discover the unspoiled, unexplored natural beauty blanketing India’s northeast

Look out for exotic, rare wildlife roaming Kaziranga National Park, like one-horned rhinos and tigers.

Bask in the picturesque, charming beauty of Shillong, where gardens, waterfalls, lakes, and green rolling hills await.

Enjoy the many cultural, architectural, and scenic wonders packed into Kolkata, like the Jain Temples.

Embark on a day trip to Cherrapunjee and admire the roaring waterfalls cascading down cliffs cloaked in vibrant green flora.

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.
