Few regions pack in as much variety as Northeast India. In a single trip you can walk across a living root bridge, boat on the glass-clear Umngot River, spot rhinos in Kaziranga and sip fresh Assam tea. Add thundering waterfalls, quiet monasteries and colourful festivals, and you have a destination that rewards the curious traveller. Here are the experiences we recommend building your holiday around.

Nature & landscapes

The Northeast is a feast for nature lovers. Walk to living root bridges in the Meghalaya rainforest, chase waterfalls around Cherrapunji, and marvel at Dawki's crystal river. Everywhere you turn, green hills roll into misty valleys.

Wildlife & safaris

Kaziranga National Park is the star, sheltering the world's largest population of one-horned rhinos alongside elephants, buffalo and countless birds. A dawn jeep safari here is unforgettable, and we help you book the right zone and timing.

Culture, monasteries & festivals

The region's tribal cultures are rich and welcoming. Visit hilltop monasteries, browse local markets, and if timing allows, experience festivals like Nagaland's Hornbill — a dazzling showcase of dance, music and crafts.

Tea, food & flavour

Assam's tea gardens are worth a slow morning, tasting brews at their source. The food is fresh and distinctive across states, from smoky Naga dishes to Assamese thalis, and we point you to the places worth trying.

Best time & getting around

October to April is ideal for most activities and safaris. Everything runs from Guwahati (GAU) with onward drives by private car. For Arunachal or Nagaland experiences, we arrange the Inner Line Permit — a domestic permit, not a visa.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
