Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh
Himalayan Luxury Tours plans Northeast India holidays from North Bengal, covering Meghalaya's living root bridges, Kaziranga's grasslands and Arunachal's mountain roads, with permits explained.
We are close to the gateway to the Northeast. Guests usually fly into Guwahati (GAU) from Bagdogra or other cities, and we plan the rest by road. This region rewards slow travel: long drives, forests, rivers and tribal cultures.
Indian nationals from outside Arunachal need an Inner Line Permit, which can be applied for online. Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit and travel with a registered operator. Rules change, so please check current requirements. Wildlife sightings, river cruises and road conditions depend on season and weather. See our Meghalaya travel guide and Arunachal permits guide.
