Package Overview
The 3 Sisters of the North East package is an extensive 10-night expedition through the diverse landscapes of Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, and Assam, offering a deep dive into the region's spiritual and natural wonders. The journey begins with 2 nights in Shillong, the "Scotland of the East," where you can explore the pristine Umiam Lake and the cascading Elephant Falls before heading into the rugged beauty of Arunachal Pradesh. Your circuit through the Himalayas includes stays in Bhalukpong, Dirang, Bomdila, and Tezpur, but the crown jewel is 2 nights in Tawang, situated at 10,000 feet, where you will visit the majestic Tawang Monastery—India's largest—and traverse the high-altitude Sela Pass. The tour concludes with 2 nights in Guwahati, featuring a pilgrimage to the sacred Kamakhya Temple and a scenic sunset cruise on the Brahmaputra River. This comprehensive itinerary typically covers Inner Line Permits (ILP) for Arunachal Pradesh, comfortable mountain-grade transportation, and guided sightseeing to ensure a smooth transition through these remote yet breathtaking territories.
