Northeast India: Shillong, Cherrapunji, Kaziranga and Majuli

Modéré

Walks of 30 to 90 minutes at a time on hill paths, viewpoints and village lanes, at up to about 1,500 m in Shillong and Sohra. The optional double-decker root bridge trek on day 3 is about 3,500 steps down and the same back up, 5 to 6 hours in warm, humid air on steep and often wet stone steps; the easy option that day stays on the plateau. Everyone sees a living root bridge at Mawlynnong on day 4, a short walk down. Jeep safaris in Kaziranga are seated, about 2 to 3 hours each. Two road days, days 4 and 5, run five to six and a half hours with long stops.

Your See Sight Tours guide meets you at Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU), with flights from Delhi, Kolkata and other Indian cities. We drive straight up into the Khasi Hills, about 100 km and three hours on a good highway, climbing from the Brahmaputra plain to Shillong at about 1,500 m. Halfway we stop at Umiam Lake, a reservoir ringed by pine hills, for tea and the view. Shillong is Meghalaya's capital, a hill town of churches, pines and steep lanes, and its cooler air is a relief after the plains. After check-in your guide walks the group round Ward's Lake, a garden lake from the British period in the centre of town, and through Police Bazaar, the busy main square.

Soir

Dinner is a welcome meal of Khasi dishes, with a vegetarian version on request, while your guide explains the week ahead, including the choice you make for the root bridge day.

Faune et météo : November to April is the dry season and the only time Kaziranga is open to visitors; the park closes for the monsoon, broadly May to October, as the Brahmaputra floods the grasslands. November and December are clear and mild, with fresh green after the rains and still-full waterfalls. From January the grass is burned in patches, which makes rhinos and swamp deer easier to see, and winter brings migratory birds to the wetlands, but Meghalaya's waterfalls thin out and morning fog on the Brahmaputra can delay the Majuli ferry; if it is suspended we keep the group on the Jorhat side and see the satras on a revised day. March and April are hot and humid, with the first pre-monsoon storms.

Avant de réserver

Ce voyage est-il pour vous?

Ce voyage vous convient si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who have seen the Golden Triangle and want a different India: hill tribes, river islands and rhinos
  • Wildlife lovers who want three safaris in Kaziranga without elephant rides
  • Walkers who want the double-decker root bridge, and companions who would rather not, on the same trip
  • Travellers curious about food, faith and craft: Khasi cooking, the satras and the mask makers
  • Solo travellers who want a small group and a single price shown up front

Ce voyage ne vous convient pas si vous recherchez

  • Travellers who need step-free access: viewpoints, root bridges and satras involve steps and uneven ground
  • Anyone who dislikes long road days: two days run five to six and a half hours
  • Travellers who want high-standard hotels every night: the Majuli stay is simple
  • Anyone who struggles in humid heat, especially on March and April departures
  • Travellers who want tigers: Kaziranga has them, but sightings are rare

Questions

What does the price include?

Eight nights' accommodation, 8 breakfasts, 8 lunches and 7 dinners, airport transfers at Guwahati and Jorhat, our own vehicle and driver, a See Sight Tours guide throughout, three Kaziranga jeep safaris, the Majuli ferry both ways, the root bridge trek guide and village fees, a tea tasting and every site entry in the day plan. Flights, the visa, drinks and tips are extra.

Is the Northeast India tour a small group trip?

Yes. Between 7 and 12 guests, never more. A small group fits one vehicle on the hill roads, three jeeps in Kaziranga with no more than four of us in each, and a satra prayer hall without crowding. If you want fewer people, choose the private style, with your own guide and vehicle.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide is with the group from Guwahati airport on day 1 to Jorhat Airport on day 9, with our own vehicle and driver. A local Khasi guide leads the root bridge trek, a forest department guard rides on each Kaziranga jeep, and local guides join where sites need them. We name your guide when we confirm dates.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit for the trip as a whole: walks of 30 to 90 minutes on hill paths and village lanes, and seated jeep safaris. The double-decker root bridge trek is the exception, about 3,500 steps down and back up in humid heat, and it is optional. The easy plateau day on day 3 needs no special fitness.

How hard is the double-decker living root bridge trek?

Hard but steady. From Tyrna it is about 3,500 steep stone steps down to Nongriat and the same back up, usually five to six hours with rests, in warm, humid air on steps that are often wet. There is no road out, so choose it only if you can climb stairs for two hours. Everyone sees a root bridge at Riwai on day 4.

Is there a single supplement for solo travellers?

Yes, CAD 420 at the indicative price, shown before you book. You can also ask to share with another solo guest of the same gender; we try to match you but cannot promise it, so plan on the supplement. Solo guests get the same rooms, tables and jeep seats as everyone else.

When is the best time to visit Kaziranga and Meghalaya?

November to April, and only then for this trip. Kaziranga closes to visitors in the monsoon, broadly May to October, while the Brahmaputra floods its grasslands. November and December are mild with full waterfalls; January to February bring birds and easier rhino sightings; March and April are hot and humid.

Do I need a visa or a special permit for Assam and Meghalaya?

You need an Indian visa but no special permit. Most visitors, including Canadians at the time of writing, can apply online for an e-Tourist Visa; check the official site when you book. The Restricted Area and Inner Line Permits for Sikkim and some other northeast states do not apply on this route. Carry your passport for hotels and safari bookings.

What happens if the Majuli ferry is not running?

We keep the group in a hotel on the Jorhat side and visit the satras on a revised day once the ferry runs again. There is no bridge to Majuli yet, sailings change with the water level, fog can delay them and the last ferry leaves in mid-afternoon, so we confirm sailing times at booking and plan the day around them.

Will I see a rhino in Kaziranga, and are there elephant rides?

Very likely a rhino: Kaziranga holds about two-thirds of the world's greater one-horned rhinos, and three safaris on three ranges give good chances, though nothing in the wild is certain. Tigers live in the park but are rarely seen. Elephant-back rides are offered there; we do not include, sell or arrange them.

How does booking work?

You request to book on this page, with no payment taken. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The price shown is indicative until we confirm it for your dates.

Can I go on my own dates?

Yes. The private style is your party only, with your own guide, vehicle and driver, on a date you choose between November and April, from about CAD 4,310 per person sharing. If you would rather travel independently, without a guide, ask us for a quote; that is an inquiry rather than a set trip style.
