India Expedition: Sikkim, Assam & Nagaland (11 destinations)

Set off on a 16-day adventure through the wildlife reserves, wetlands and rambling mountain villages of northeastern India. Learn about the cultures of Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland, search for the iconic one-horned rhinoceros in Kaziranga National Park and pick tea leaves with a local farming community in Darjeeling. Explore the floating villages of Majuli Island, visit Gangtok’s controversial Rumtek Monastery and check out a living root bridge – the handiwork of the Khasi people. This trip takes you to a part of India rarely seen by travellers and is ideal for those who have been to India previously and are keen to explore more., You'll likely be of as much interest to the locals as they are to you – be prepared for plenty of selfies and conversations., We cover a lot of ground on this trip. There are some long travel days by train and van, including on winding mountain or bumpy local roads, particularly in Nagaland. It's not unusual for journeys to take longer than estimated and travel times to vary from one departure to the next., Parts of this trip travels to over 2000 m above sea level. It can get colder than you might expect in India, so make sure you check the weather at your time of travelling to help pack appropriately. Please bring a jacket and layers just in case.
