This 9-day guided tour through India’s northeast carries you to unexplored wonders: a park home to an abundance of wildlife (tigers, one-horned rhinos), roaring waterfalls, and glimmering lakes. But the charm doesn’t end at the staggering Himalayan scenery.
It continues with city explorations in Kolkata, where monumental temples await, and in vibrant Shillong.
