Itinerary
covering Guwahati, Shillong, Cherapunjee, Kaziranga and Nameri
National park.
The North
Eastern region of India is one of the least explored regions of
India. With its abundant natural wealth, wildlife sanctuaries,
high mountains, tribal culture, tea gardens, waterfalls, famous
temples, the majestic Brahmaputra valley, angling opportunities,
fast flowing rivers, limestone caves, quaint markets and a
flourishing textile trade, it's a wonder that these sister states
have been able to keep themselves under wraps for so long! The
Wanderers are delighted to unveil the beauty of 2 of the 7 sister
states viz Assam and Meghalaya and present them to the world at
large.
