North East Tour Packages

Our journey commenced with arrival in Siliguri, from where we headed to the queen of hills, Darjeeling, and then to Gangtok. One of the key highlights of our trip was catching a glimpse of sunrise at Tiger Hill. The panoramic view of sunlit mountain peaks was breathtakingly beautiful and equally romantic. The most bewitching experience of our honeymoon trip was the visit to the glacial lake, Tsomgo Lake, in Sikkim. We also visited a quiet hill station called Kalimpong. The place is a plethora of temples but not as enthralling as Darjeeling or Gangtok. Last but not the least, memories of the fun yak ride we had in Gangtok will surely be cherished forever.

If words could paint a picture, we would say the trip was full of paved pathways, mystic monasteries, glacial lakes, captivating cloudline, never-ending meadows, and the green expanse of tea gardens.

The experience says it all why northeast has always been an eye candy of the newly weds and a perfect abode for honeymooners. If you are looking forward to experience something just as magical as this, make sure to checkout TravelTriangle Northeast packages.

Once, I went for an adventure trip, my first adventure travel, and past that I have never been the same. Now, my heart craves travel and my feet can’t wait to hit the road. But amidst my wanderlust journey, TravelTriangle has been a constant. My last seven trips wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for TravelTriangle. Recently, I decided to explore the unmatched beauty of North East with a friend of mine. We both have heard great things about Meghalaya and the fact that it was a girls trip made it al the more exciting. On exploring this beautiful state, we left no stone unturned. Boat ride in the awe-striking Umiami Lake was a surreal experience in itself. As Christmas was around the corner, we had a great time visiting different churches and witnessing Christmas decorations. A visit to Ward’s Lake in the heart of Shillong was also truly refreshing. Trying on traditional Khasi dress, visiting Elephanta falls, and a trek to Cherapunji, all this made our days in North East truly a dream come true. However, we would definitely want to come back to further explore Mawlynnong. Amidst our search for Northeast tour packages, TravelTriangle turned out to be a real help.
