Experience North East India
This trip tries to capture a feel of what the North East is about: a mosaic of tribes each with their own culture, breathtaking natural beauty, huge bio-diversity, a rich variety of bird and animal species. We include 3 fabulous areas in this trip: Cherrapunjee and the Mawllynong area in Meghalaya, Kaziranga National Park and Majuli river island, a world heritage site, staying at ethnic guest houses and eco-camps. People interested in culture and wildlife (birdwatcher’s paradise) would love this. Children are welcome on this trip.
