Living root bridges, crystal rivers and one-horned rhinos — the Northeast is India's most underrated frontier.
India's Northeast is a green, clean and culturally rich frontier still off most tourist radars. From Meghalaya's rain-fed wonders to Sikkim's Himalayan grandeur, it rewards the curious traveller.
Best time to visit
October to May is ideal across most of the region. Meghalaya is spectacular right after the monsoon when waterfalls roar and the root bridges are lush.
Regional highlights
- Meghalaya — Cherrapunji's living root bridges, Dawki's glass-clear river and Mawlynnong, 'Asia's cleanest village'.
- Sikkim — Gangtok, Tsomgo Lake and Himalayan viewpoints of Kanchenjunga.
- Assam — Kaziranga rhino safaris, tea estates and the Kamakhya temple.
