by Jayden Smith Blogger

Want to discover hidden gems of India? Like mighty rivers, exotic wildlife, natural scenic beauty and ancient tribal culture? Well, you can explore all these and more in North East India tour packages.

Seven Pretty Sisters

The far-flung northeast part of India consists of seven states, also referred to as the Seven Sisters – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. Northeast India travel has become popular among tourists who want to see a unique side of India that’s quite different from the mainland.

Discover Assam’s Natural Bounty

North east India tour packages that cover Assam include visits to wildlife-rich national parks such as Kaziranga National Park (where you’ll find elusive one-horned rhinos), Manas National Park (home to rich birdlife and the rare Golden Langur) and Nameri National Park (famous for river rafting). You can witness first-hand the life in sprawling tea estates. You will also get to observe rich Bodo culture replete with music, dancing and beautiful crafts. A sunset cruise along the Brahmaputra River is an experience you’ll cherish for life.

Witness Manipur’s Fascinating Tribal Culture

North east India travel also takes you to Manipur, a state that features unique Tibet-Burmese influence and the well-preserved life of different indigenous tribes living in hilly regions. In Manipur, you can explore ancient myths, unique folklore, tribal dances and handicraft products. Ima Market is a highlight here since it is operated solely by hundreds of women. The Sangai Festival, occurring in the month of December, is the perfect opportunity to take in different facets of Manipuri culture including ceremonies, dances, and handicrafts. History buffs will find Manipur’s connection to WWII very interesting.

Immerse Yourself in Nagaland’s Proud Heritage

There are specialist North East India tour packages like the Hornbill Festival Tour that allows tourists to soak up the vibrant and colorful culture of Nagaland’s indigenous warrior tribes. These tribes are many in number and each one is proud of its unique language, attire and customs. The Hornbill Festival tour takes place in December and is designed to showcase the best of Naga tribal culture. Visitors can observe and interact with participants as well as take part in all the revelry.

Visit Other Regional Attractions

Some North East holiday packages include a visit to the historic city of Kolkata – the erstwhile capital of the British Raj and the place from where the East India Company expanded. Another unique North East travel experience is a photography tour of Arunachal Pradesh, with special emphasis on the animist Donyi Polo faith.  The peaceful followers of the Donyi Polo faith give importance to age-old customs and ways of life and a photography tour is a great way to capture their living faith in pictures. Besides, Arunachal Pradesh is a beautiful state with rich flora and fauna.
