While here, an evening cruise in the Brahmaputra river is a must if you wish to enjoy the vast scenic horizons of the city and beyond.
Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, aptly called the abode of the clouds is a truly a paradise to be enjoyed. The journey itself enroute this city is so breathtaking, you couldn’t wait but reach there to explore it all. Meghalaya is also home to Asia’s most cleanest village, Mawlynnong.
India’s least explored state, Arunachal Pradesh is beauty unsullied. It rises massively from beneath the Assam plains, covered in dense forests, astounding steep hills and winding roads that soars high above to transform inti massive snow capped mountains along the Tibetan border. Unlike most part of India, tourism in Arunachal is still a far cry in most areas, that in turn keeps its quaint virgin charm intact.
So, book the North East tour and soak in the aura of the hills and valleys right away.
