North East India is eight states (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura), bounded by Bangladesh, Bhutan, Tibet and Myanmar. Packages cluster around two gateways. Guwahati serves Meghalaya, Kaziranga, Tawang and Nagaland. Bagdogra serves Sikkim and Darjeeling. Pick your gateway first and the rest of the trip falls into place.

Popular North East Routes
Six routes account for almost every North East package. Prices are the lowest live package on each route, per person on twin sharing.
| Route and nights | What the package covers | Best months | Fly into | Packages |

Lachen and Gurudongmar have closed and reopened several times since the 2023 Teesta flood, so your agent confirms the road and permit status before you pay. North Sikkim tour packages, Sikkim |
| Tawang via Bhalukpong, Dirang and Sela Pass (5 to 7 nights) | Dirang, Sela Pass (4,170 m) and the Sela Tunnel, open since March 2024, which keeps the road to Tawang open in winter, Tawang Monastery (founded in 1680-81, about 3,000 m up), Madhuri (Shungatser) Lake, Nuranang Falls, Bomdila on the way down | March to June, September to November | Guwahati (GAU) or Tezpur | From Rs 32,500.

Nagaland tour packages, Kohima, Majuli |
Two notes the itinerary pages often skip. Nathu La sits at 4,310 m, about 56 km from Gangtok, and is open to Indian nationals only on set days of the week, so it takes a full day and needs a permit lodged a day ahead. Tawang is two days' drive from Guwahati each way, with a night in Dirang or Bomdila, which is why no honest Tawang package is shorter than 5 nights. Tripura, Mizoram and Manipur trips are built on request, so ask an agent for a quote. For the full list of sights by state, read our guide to places to visit in North East India.

How to Choose the Right North East Package
By who is travelling. Couples usually pick Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki or Gangtok and Darjeeling; see North East honeymoon packages. Families with children or older parents do best on Shillong and Kaziranga, where drives are short and roads are good; see North East family tour packages. Friends after a road trip pick Tawang or North Sikkim.
By budget. Under Rs 20,000 buys 2 to 4 nights in Meghalaya or Assam with 3-star hotels. Rs 20,000 to Rs 40,000 covers most 5 to 8 night trips, including Tawang. Above Rs 40,000 gets you 4-star hotels, longer combinations or flights bundled in.
By trip length. With 4 nights or fewer, stay in one state. With 5 to 8, take one gateway and one full route. With 9 or more, combine routes, for example Kaziranga, Shillong and Tawang from Guwahati.
By season. October to April suits every route. Kaziranga jeep safaris run from early October (3 October in 2026) to April, North Sikkim is best March to June and October to November, and monsoon trips work only in Meghalaya with buffer days.
Permits for North East India (ILP and PAP)
Indian travellers need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur. Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Darjeeling and Gangtok town need no permit. In Sikkim, Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La and North Sikkim need protected-area permits issued through a registered operator. Foreign nationals face stricter rules, set out below.
| State or zone | Indian travellers | Foreign nationals | How it works on a TravelTriangle trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arunachal Pradesh (Tawang, Ziro, Dirang) | ILP required, issued online as an e-ILP | Protected Area Permit (PAP) required | Your agent files the e-ILP with your ID and a photo before you travel |
| Nagaland (Kohima, Dimapur, Hornbill Festival) | ILP required, Dimapur included | PAP required | Filed online by your agent before the trip |
| Mizoram | ILP required | PAP required | Filed by your agent before the trip |
| Manipur | ILP required | PAP required | Quoted on request; check the current travel advisory first |
| Sikkim: Gangtok, Pelling, Namchi, Ravangla | No permit | Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to enter Sikkim | RAP must be applied for online on the e-FRRO portal before arrival; it is no longer issued on the spot at Rangpo |
| Sikkim: Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La, Baba Mandir | Protected-area permit through a registered operator | Tsomgo only; Nathu La is closed to foreigners | Agent applies in Gangtok a day ahead with your ID and photos |
| Sikkim: North Sikkim (Lachung, Yumthang, Lachen, Gurudongmar) | Protected-area permit through a registered operator | PAP, in groups through a registered operator, for Lachung, Yumthang and Lachen; Gurudongmar is closed to foreigners | Arranged with the Lachung package |
| Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Darjeeling | No permit | No permit | Nothing to arrange |
Carry a passport, voter ID or driving licence and four passport-size photos on every North East trip; Aadhaar is not accepted for Sikkim's Tsomgo, Nathu La and North Sikkim permits. Permit fees are paid at actuals and are not part of the package price. Permit rules on this page are checked by our North East desk against the state ILP portals and the Ministry of Home Affairs list of protected areas.
Best Time for a North East Tour
The best time for a North East tour is October to April, when skies are clear and every route is open. The best time to visit Meghalaya is October to April, Assam November to March, and Arunachal Pradesh October to April. June to September is monsoon, with some of the heaviest rain on earth around Cherrapunji and landslides on hill roads. For a month-by-month read, see our North East trip guide.
| Months | What to expect | Best route |
|---|---|---|
| October and November | Season opens, Kanchenjunga views return, Kaziranga reopens; November has the clearest skies and cherry blossom in Shillong | Every route |
| December to February | Cold and clear. Hornbill Festival in Kohima (1 to 10 December), Losar in Tawang; the Sela Tunnel keeps Tawang open, but the Gurudongmar road can close after snowfall | Kaziranga, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Gangtok and Darjeeling |
| March to May | Warming up, rhododendrons in Sikkim, Bohag Bihu in Assam mid-April; Kaziranga closes in May and pre-monsoon showers reach Meghalaya | North Sikkim and Yumthang, Tawang, Meghalaya |
| June to September | Monsoon, with landslide risk on every hill road; Ambubachi Mela at Kamakhya in June, Ziro Music Festival in September | Meghalaya waterfalls only, with buffer days |
How to Reach North East India
Most North East packages begin at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati (GAU), the entry point for Meghalaya, Assam, Arunachal and Nagaland, with direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Chennai. Sikkim and Darjeeling packages begin at Bagdogra airport (IXB) near Siliguri, about 3 hours from Darjeeling and 4.5 hours from Gangtok, or at New Jalpaiguri (NJP) station. Your package includes the airport or station pickup.
What's Included in a North East Tour Package
Each package page lists its inclusions, and the agent confirms them in writing in your quote before you pay.
| Usually included | Usually not included |
|---|---|
| Hotel room on twin sharing (2, 3 or 4 star, as you choose) | Flights or train tickets to Guwahati or Bagdogra |
| Daily breakfast | Lunch and dinner, unless the package says otherwise |
| Private AC cab for transfers and sightseeing, driver for up to 12 hours a day | Entry tickets, camera fees and guide charges at sights |
| Airport or railway station pickup and drop | ILP and protected-area permit fees (paid at actuals) |
| Sightseeing as per the itinerary | Boating and water activities at Umiam, Dawki and Ward's Lake |
| Tolls, parking, driver allowance and GST | Extra costs from landslides or road closures |
| Jeep safari on Kaziranga packages; guide for the root bridge trek on Cherrapunji packages | Travel insurance and personal expenses |
| Permit paperwork handled by your agent | Extra vehicle use beyond the itinerary |
Sample 7N/8D North East Itinerary
This is the day plan of the North East Trip Plan For 8 Days package (from Rs 24,500 per person, rated 4.2/5 from 468 reviews), the most complete Meghalaya and Assam trip on this page.
Day 1 is the airport pickup and the drive to Shillong. Day 2 takes in Shillong Peak and Elephant Falls on the way to Cherrapunji, and Day 3 is the guided trek to the Double Decker living root bridge at Nongriat. Day 4 covers Dawki on the Umngot river (the boat ride is paid on the spot) and Mawlynnong village. Day 5 is Shillong sightseeing, such as Ward\'s Lake and the Don Bosco Museum. Days 6 and 7 are in Guwahati, where you can ask your agent to add Kamakhya Temple or a Brahmaputra cruise, and Day 8 is the airport drop. Want rhinos too? Agents usually swap Day 7 for two nights in Kaziranga.
What to Carry on a North East Trip
Carry a passport, voter ID or driving licence, two copies of it and four passport-size photos for permits. Pack a poncho from May to September, insect repellent all year and shoes that grip on wet steps; the root bridge trek is around 3,500 steps each way. Gurudongmar (5,183 m), Zero Point and Sela Pass (4,170 m) stay near freezing and windy all year, so take a thermal layer and a windproof jacket even in summer, and thermals and a heavy jacket for Tawang, Gangtok and North Sikkim in winter. Keep cash for permit counters, as card machines and mobile signal drop out on the Sela and North Sikkim roads.

FAQs About North East Tour Packages
How much does a North East tour package cost?
A North East tour package costs from Rs 9,000 per person for 1N/2D in Guwahati with a 3-star hotel. A 3N/4D Shillong and Cherrapunji trip starts at Rs 15,499, a 5N/6D Kaziranga and Shillong trip at Rs 24,499, and a 6N/7D Tawang trip at Rs 37,500. A 13N/14D trip covering Shillong, Kaziranga and Tawang costs about Rs 65,000. Prices are per person on twin sharing; flights are extra.
How many days are enough for a North East trip?
Five to eight days is enough for one route. Three nights covers Shillong and Cherrapunji; five or six adds Kaziranga or Mawlynnong. Tawang needs five or six nights because the drive from Guwahati takes two days each way. Gangtok and Darjeeling need five to seven nights, plus two for North Sikkim. Seeing Sikkim and Meghalaya together needs nine nights or more.
Which is the best month for a North East tour?
October to April is the best time for a North East tour. Meghalaya is best October to April, Assam November to March and Arunachal October to April. November has the clearest skies. December brings the Hornbill Festival in Kohima (1 to 10 December). Avoid June to September unless you want Meghalaya's monsoon waterfalls and can keep buffer days for landslides.
Do I need a permit for North East India?
Indian travellers need an Inner Line Permit for Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur. Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Gangtok town need none. In Sikkim, Tsomgo Lake, Nathu La and North Sikkim need protected-area permits through a registered operator. Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit for Arunachal, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur and a Restricted Area Permit for Sikkim. Your agent files the permits; fees are paid at actuals.
Is North East India safe for tourists?
Yes. The main tourist routes in Meghalaya, Assam, Sikkim, Arunachal's Tawang road and Nagaland are travelled by Indian families and couples through every season. Manipur has seen unrest since May 2023, so check the current travel advisory before booking there. The real risks are natural: landslides on hill roads from June to September, and altitude at Gurudongmar (5,183 m) and Sela Pass (4,170 m).
Should I visit Gangtok or Shillong first?
Pick by gateway, not by order. Shillong is about 3 hours from Guwahati airport and pairs with Cherrapunji, Dawki and Kaziranga. Gangtok is about 4.5 hours from Bagdogra and pairs with Darjeeling, Pelling and North Sikkim. The two are more than 600 km apart by road, so most travellers choose one for a first trip: Shillong for waterfalls and root bridges, Gangtok for snow and Himalayan views.
Can I cover Sikkim and Meghalaya in one trip?
Yes, with nine nights or more. The usual plan is Shillong and Cherrapunji from Guwahati, then a flight or a long drive to Bagdogra for Gangtok and Darjeeling. Trying to fit both into six nights leaves you in a car for two days. Ask your agent to quote it open-jaw: arrive in Guwahati, fly home from Bagdogra.
Which airport should I fly into for a North East tour?
Fly into Guwahati (GAU) for Meghalaya, Kaziranga, Tawang and Nagaland. Fly into Bagdogra (IXB), near Siliguri, for Gangtok, Pelling, North Sikkim and Darjeeling. For Kohima, Dimapur (DMU) is closest, and for Majuli, Jorhat (JRH). Guwahati has the most direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Chennai, which is why most North East packages start there.
Is Darjeeling part of North East tour packages?
Darjeeling is in West Bengal, not one of the eight North East states, but it is sold with North East packages because it shares Bagdogra airport with Sikkim. A typical Gangtok and Darjeeling package adds Tiger Hill sunrise, the toy train and a tea estate visit. See Darjeeling tour packages for Darjeeling-only trips.
What are the best North East tour packages?
For a first trip, pick the Tempting North East Tour Package (3N/4D Shillong and Cherrapunji, from Rs 15,499, 4.2/5 from 313 reviews) or the North East Trip Plan For 8 Days (Meghalaya and Guwahati, from Rs 24,500, 4.2/5 from 468 reviews). For wildlife, the Kaziranga and Shillong family package from Rs 24,499 has the most reviews on this page (615). For mountains, choose a 6N/7D Tawang package from Rs 37,500 or a Sikkim Darjeeling Gangtok package from Rs 18,013.
Can I customise my North East tour package?
Yes. Every North East package on TravelTriangle is customisable. You can change the hotels and star category, add or drop days, swap Guwahati sightseeing for a Kaziranga safari, add North Sikkim to a Gangtok trip, or bundle flights from your city. Share your plan once and up to 3 local agents quote, then keep editing until the plan fits.
What is not included in a North East tour package?
Flights and trains, lunch and dinner (unless listed), entry and camera fees, ILP and protected-area permit fees, boating at Umiam and Dawki, and travel insurance are usually not included. Costs from landslides or road closures are also extra.
