North East Tour Packages From Delhi

Kaziranga National Park

Established as a reserve forest more than 100 years ago, Kaziranga National Park is one of the most beautiful and educational places in all of the North East offering a gorgeous landscape, decorated by the Brahmaputra River’s flow through it. Additionally, due to the presence of this national park, various endangered species have found shelter here, such as the one-horned rhinoceros.

Imphal War Cemetery

Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, the Imphal War Cemetery’s grounds contain 1600 burials of the war dead, 1462 of which have been recognised. Initially, there were 950 such burials here, but after the end of World War II, the burials of certain smaller cemeteries were moved to these grounds.

Cherrapunji

Home to the Khasi people, Cherrapunji is a hill station located in the state of Meghalaya in the North East. Its primary attraction the massive amounts of rainfall it experiences and it currently holds the world record for the highest amount of rain in a calendar month and year, measuring at an incredible 9300 millimetres in July 1861 and 26461 millimetres between August 1, 1860, and July 31, 1861. Also known as Sohra, this town, beyond its hefty rainfall, offers some splendid sights to the visitors, with the gorgeous Nohkalikai Falls located only about 7 km from there.

Ideal Duration

The North East takes up about 8% of India’s entire landmass, giving you a lot of ground to cover. So, if you wish to have a fulfilling vacation here, it’s best if you decide to take about 10 days to do it. You can explore all of this history and nature with the North East packages from Delhi.

Best Time to Visit

The North East is a varied landscape, so the temperatures tend to vary depending on which place you’re talking about. The lower-lying regions or plains may have weather that is different from that in the more mountainous areas.

Summer

Besides some of the regions in Arunachal Pradesh specifically that aren’t located at high elevation, temperatures around here don’t exceed 30 °C during the summers which crop up from April to June. This may be the best time to visit the North East for people who aren’t used to the more intense chill that does sometimes come with the mountainous landscape of the area. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about snowfall blocking any of your routes in most parts of the region.

Monsoon

The rainfall here is some of the most intense out of anywhere in the world, which is especially true of towns such as Cherrapunji and Mawsynram. Temperatures here bounce around between 9 °C to 35 °C, depending on the time of day. While the valley’s greenery is in full bloom during the monsoon, with its rivers gushing at full tilt, the roads become extremely slippery and many adventure activities become unavailable due to the risk involved. If that isn’t a priority, however, there are still some wonderful sights to be seen here.

Winter

Many parts of the North East, especially those that you’d have to crane your neck up for, experience a decent amount of snowfall during this time. The temperatures are generally low all over the terrain, with the maximum being around 22 °C range during the day, but they can plunge to as low as -10 °C, too. Experiencing snow in this beautiful land is an absolute delight and if you wish to do the same, a North East tour package from Delhi to take you there between the months of October and March may be what you’re looking for.

How to Reach

By Air

The cities of Guwahati, Silchar, Dibrugarh in Assam, Imphal in Manipur, Dimapur in Nagaland and Agartala in Tripura all have airports. There is good connectivity to flights here from Delhi as well, and travel durations range between 3 to 5 hours if the flight is non-stop.

By Rail

Train travel to the North East is a bit of a tricky affair, as not all the states have a well-connected railway network. Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Sikkim have direct trains from Delhi, but Mizoram, Meghalaya and Manipur aren’t yet accessible by train, although there are plans in place to change that.

By Road

Road trips to the North East are a popular and satisfying way to explore the entirety of these regions. When you set off on this journey, however, keep in mind that it is going to be a long one. The state in the North East that is closest to Delhi is Sikkim and even that is about 1600 km journey. However, the experience of road travel past the landscape allows you to get a great look at the region’s stunning vistas. This is especially true if you’re going to be driving there yourself, be it on a bike or in a car, as it gives you the autonomy to stop wherever you’d like and experience all of the stopovers along the region. Beyond that, there are many mountain passes that are a pleasure to drive on, such as the winding patch of road between Kalimpola and Zuluk.
