Explore The Pristine Outdoors With Northeast India Tours

By Deborah Price


For years, tourism has been a major revenue earner for India. Many tourists travel to it to explore the magnificent jungles and hills in its northeastern section. If your visit is on the cards, you might want to read on to know what you stand to get from northeast India tours.

With many places to go to in the northeast, settling on one destination can be a real struggle. Most destinations are covered in separate packages. Nevertheless, an excursion to Tawang is highly recommended. Before you head out, ensure your travel agency sorts out your accommodation and commutation requirements.

Tawang is one of the administrative districts of the larger Arunachal Pradesh province. It is often regarded as the most pristine of all the local districts. There are many natural wonders in the district. Most tour agencies prefer exploring the many orchid gardens, cultures, valleys and ancient monasteries in the locality.

There are two transport options that one may choose. Your tour organizers may fly you straight to Guwahati airport or take you to the area by train. Many investors have taken advantage of the tourism potential that the region has and have put up good hotels in the area. Once you arrive, you might want to check out the Kamakhya Devi Temple. Later, spend the night in one of the local five star hotels.

Indian districts usually cover vast swathes of land. Bhalukpong, which should be the first stop on your second day, is 245 kilometers away. Many tourists flock it to check its vast array of plant species. A popular local garden has over 450 rare orchids, a distinct record in this nation. The Kameng, a snow fed river, cuts across the lands of Bhalukpong.

A five hour drive from this location should take you to Dirang, another notable attraction. An 8600ft depression called the Monpa Valley lies here. When on site, remember to check the Bomdila Monastery. Founded in 1965, it has been the revered abode of Lamas and Buddhist monks.

Tours always get interesting with a visit to the greater Tawang municipality. It takes a full day to explore the municipality entirely. A top tourist attraction is the Tawang Monastery. It was founded in the 17th century by Mera Lama Lodre Gyaltso. As things stand, it houses more than 500 monks and ancient Buddhist scriptures. Other interesting local sites include the Urgelling Monastery and the Monpa Village.

A memorial to the 1962 Indo China War lies 25 kilometers away. It is dedicated to a fallen soldier whose service during the battle stood out. Historical accounts state that he singlehandedly stood his ground against the advancing Chinese for 72 hours. He did this despite the 10000ft altitude that he was at. In spite of his heroic antics, he fell to enemy gunfire. Nature trails dot the surroundings of the memorial.

Try to book early as many people visit throughout the year. Get some travel vaccination to ward off infections beforehand. There is no doubt you will enjoy a memorable experience.
