Explore North East : The Backpacking Way !!!
EnquireOverview
The North Eastern States of India are a land of pristine untouched forests, lush green valleys, lost and forgotten cultures nestled in mountains that disappear into the clouds. Thrown across the farthest reaches of India, obscured from the greater world by ageless forests and formidable mountain ranges, the Northeastern States are one of Asia’s last great natural and anthropological sanctuaries.
These remote frontiers are a region of rugged beauty, and of an eclectic mix of tribal cultures, climates, landscapes and people. Glacial Himalayan rivers spill onto Assam’s vast floodplains, rhinos graze in swampy grasslands, while cool blue mountains, and waterfalls set on dramatic horseshoes of rocky cliffs define Meghalaya.
In other words, only those with a taste for raw adventure and the thirst to explore the remote and the unexplored need apply.
