Explore The Pristine Outdoors With Northeast India Tours

By Deborah Price


One of the biggest contributors to the economy of India is tourism. The northeastern part of the country is renowned for its breathtaking array of hills and jungles. For those planning to visit soon, here is what to expect from northeast India tours.

The northeast is marked with a plethora of breathtaking destinations, which in effect makes it hard for the ordinary tourist to choose a specific spot. The abundance of pristine destinations in this region has forced tour operators to classify their packages based on location. Tawang is a region that is highly recommended for those new to India. Before you travel, you should make sure your organizers make advance plans for transportation and accommodation.

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.

You have two ways to get to Tawang district. You may board a train or fly straight to Guwahati airport. Many entrepreneurs in Guwahati have capitalized on the tourism market by building hotels. When you arrive, start by exploring the Kamakhya Devi Temple. Next, head to your hotel for an overnight stay as you go over your itinerary for the following day.

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.

Dirang, another top attraction, is a five hour drive from Bhalukpong. Upon arrival, check out the breathtaking view of the Monpa Valley, a glorious sight with an 8600ft drop. The Bomdila Monastery is also an interesting site to explore. The monastery was officially commissioned in 1965 and is used by 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.

Twenty five kilometers away lies the 1962 Indo China War Memorial. It is a site built in memory of a soldier whose heroic actions during the war made him stand out. According to historical accounts, the soldier defended his position against the Chinese for 72 hours without help. The post was at an altitude of 10000 feet. Despite his heroic act, the wounds he sustained while at it proved fatal. The memorial is surrounded by nature trails.

Due to the high visitor traffic throughout the year, early booking is recommended. Also ensure you get vaccinated prior to traveling. Without a doubt, you will have the time of your life.
