Day by Day Itinerary
Start your trip with pickup in Guwahati and visits to Kamakhya Temple and Umananda Temple. Provide your arrival time when making the reservation, since visiting temples demands sufficient time for traveling, queues and local arrangements.
Try not to plan more sightseeing for the rest of the day of arrival as you may not be able to see all of them, given the long trip.
- Overnight: Guwahati
Leave Guwahati for Bhalukpong, where you will be accommodated during the first night of your Arunachal section. The transition from the plains to the foothills represents a new part of your journey.
Make sure you have your identification and permit documents close at hand for any inspections during the road. On arrival, check into your booked hotel.
- Overnight: Bhalukpong
- Breakfast
Continue to Dirang through the hilly regions of Arunachal Pradesh. Today is mainly a transfer day, with the scenery changing as you climb farther into the hills.
Keep warm clothes handy, even though it was warm in Guwahati. Take the evening to rest before the onward journey to Tawang.
- Overnight: Dirang
- Breakfast
Go to Tawang from Dirang via Sela Pass, which is situated at an altitude of about 4,175 metres. So, this is a high-altitude travel day.
The route and any visit to the pass is subject to weather and road conditions. After arriving at Tawang, take things easy and get a good night's rest.
- Overnight: Tawang
- Breakfast
Set out on the planned Bumla Pass excursion and return to Tawang. For this visit the package covers the sightseeing car and the arrangements for the required permits. We take care of the permission for the separate border-areas.
Access is subject to approval, weather and road conditions. This is the highest planned point on the trip, at approximately 4633 metres. Bring your required documents and follow local instructions.
- Overnight: Tawang
- Breakfast
From Tawang, head to Bomdila, where you will spend the night. This is yet another mountain transfer, which means that you need to take your time for bends, breaks and changing road conditions.
Be ready to capture photos of the landscape on the way, then check in and get some rest before heading towards Assam the next day.
- Overnight: Bomdila
- Breakfast
Drive from Bomdila to Kaziranga National Park. One jeep safari is arranged on this day according to the itinerary. Since this day involves road transfer as well as safari, it needs to be adjusted according to the confirmed slot for the safari.
Make sure to know the timing before confirming the tour. The park visit is seasonal and the wildlife sightings are unpredictable.
- Overnight: Kaziranga
- Breakfast
Continue from Kaziranga to Shillong for the Meghalaya part of your holiday. Consider this a transfer day and leave room for driving time and meal breaks.
On arrival, check into your accommodation. Your next three nights is based in Shillong, including your Dawki and Cherrapunji trips.
- Overnight: Shillong
- Breakfast
Visit Dawki and Mawlynnong as a day trip from Shillong. Dawki is famous for the Umngot River and Mawlynnong provides time in a village setting.
The clarity of the river varies with rainfall; the clear-water photographs are representative of the drier months. Return to Shillong after the excursion.
- Overnight: Shillong
- Breakfast
Spend the day in Cherrapunji and then head back to Shillong. Rain-shaped landscape and views of waterfalls are a characteristic feature of the area, which changes with the season.
Cloud also can impact visibility. Follow the sightseeing list included in your confirmed booking and wear shoes which have a good grip on wet paths and steps.
- Overnight: Shillong
- Breakfast
Check out and travel back to Guwahati for your drop. Provide flight or train information prior to booking in order to accommodate road trip, traffic and check-in needs.
Choose your onward departure after discussing the transfer with our team. This day wraps up the tour.

Permits for This Assam, Arunachal and Meghalaya Tour
Permits for your confirmed trip are covered in the package. We take care of the applications and arrangements for you.
Provide requested documents in advance and bring your identification on the trip. The approval and access are still dependent on the authorities concerned.
Indian Travellers
Inner Line Permit is required for Indian visitors who are not from Arunachal Pradesh for that segment. We provide this as a part of the package. Provide all necessary traveler information before the trip and bring the approved permit along with identification.
No ILP is required for Indians for visiting Assam & Meghalaya places during this tour route. Just follow the guidelines applicable for visitors.
Bumla Pass Permission
The Arunachal ILP and permission to visit Bumla are separate. Bumla needs approval from the concerned district and Army authorities. We organize these both as part of your package. Only the requested documents are required; the visit is subject to approval and local conditions.
Foreign Travellers
Foreign nationals should obtain the Protected Area Permit for Arunachal Pradesh and not the Indian tourist ILP. When enquiring please mention your nationality as this will help us determine eligibility and the permitted route.
We will arrange all the permits necessary for your itinerary. Entry to restricted border areas remains subject to the relevant approvals.
Documents to Keep Ready
Carry your original valid identification, permit copies and the booking contact details. Inquire about what documents are required for all travelers, including children. Have offline copies ready for areas with limited data connection.
Best Time for a North East Tour from Guwahati
Choose Dates for All Three States
When selecting dates for this combined route, November or March to April are good times to start. It is a plan recommendation according to the various seasons throughout the trip.
Kaziranga's prime tourist season falls during these months, whereas the sections in Arunachal and Meghalaya are more suitable to plan outside the monsoon.
Alternatively, October can be considered, but the availability of Kaziranga and your safari should be confirmed beforehand. The Meghalaya visit alone has a different seasonal pattern from this three-state circuit.
Winter: December to February
The winter season is good for travellers who prefer clearer water at Dawki. Tawang and the high passes need much warmer clothing, and snow or ice can affect access. If you book in the winter, you cannot be guaranteed snowfall or access to Bumla on the date of your booking.
Monsoon: June to September
The waterfalls of Meghalaya become active during the rainy season but rain also affects visibility and road travel. Kaziranga safaris are closed during certain periods. The full itinerary must be booked after checking safari and mountain sections for your dates.
Waterfalls and Clear River Views
The conditions that strengthen waterfalls can reduce river clarity at Dawki. Pick your dates around the experience that's most important and then take into account Kaziranga and Tawang.
There is no month that guarantees all of the best waterfalls, with clear river water, snow, and unrestricted road access.
Month-by-Month Planning Guide
| MONTH | MAIN POINT TO CONSIDER |
|---|---|
| January | Cold at Tawang; check high-pass for access. |
| February | Winter conditions can continue in Arunachal. |
| March | A useful month to consider for the combined route. |
| April | Plan for warmer Assam days and changing hill weather. |
| May | Check safari availability during the season. |
| June | Heavy rainfall can cause delays in the full circuit. |
| July | Heavy rain and seasonal safari closure affect planning. |
| August | Accept monsoon road and sightseeing disruptions. |
| September | Conditions vary; verify park and road access. |
| October | Check the safari reopening date and available ranges. |
| November | A useful overlap for wildlife, hills and drier conditions. |
| December | Be prepared for cold mountain conditions and check pass access. |
It is a seasonal guide, not a weather forecast. The elevation and climate in Guwahati, Shillong and Tawang vary, so a single range cannot be used to describe the entire tour.
How to Reach Guwahati for Your Tour
By Air
Take a flight to Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi Airport in Guwahati. Let our staff know your flight number, arrival time and the information about your passengers. Since Day 01 includes two temple visits, discuss a suitable arrival time before buying your tickets.
By Train
Meet at the scheduled railway pick up point at Guwahati. Please give the precise station name as given on your ticket, train number, and arrival time. Confirm the pickup location in your booking details.
By Road
If you are already in Guwahati or arrived here by road, arrange a meeting point and the time before the tour begins. The return drop is also in Guwahati. Your onward travel needs to allow for the final drive from Shillong.
Road Travel on This Route
| ROUTE SECTION | APPROXIMATE DISTANCE | INDICATIVE DRIVING TIME |
|---|---|---|
| Bhalukpong to Dirang | 140 km | About 4 hours |
| Dirang to Tawang | 135 km | About 4.5 hours |
| Tawang to Bomdila | 175 km | About 5.5 hours |
| Shillong to Dawki, one way | 80 km | About 3 hours |
| Shillong to Cherrapunji, one way | 55 km | About 2 hours |
These rounded figures are route references, not full sightseeing-day timings. Stops, permit checks, traffic, weather and the road used can add time.
The Dawki day also includes Mawlynnong and the return to Shillong. Confirm the longer transfer days and Day 07 safari timing in your final schedule.
Places You'll Visit
Guwahati: Start with Assam's Temple Visits
Guwahati introduces the Assam part of your journey. Kamakhya and Umananda temples are the named visits on Day 01. Allow time for their access arrangements and queues rather than treating them as quick stops between transfers.
Bhalukpong and Dirang: The Journey into Arunachal
These two overnight stops divide the approach to Tawang. Bhalukpong begins the foothill section, while Dirang takes you farther into the mountains. Their role in this itinerary is to break the journey before the higher route ahead.
Tawang, Sela Pass and Bumla Pass: Mountain Scenery
Tawang is your base for two nights. Sela Pass is on the planned approach, while Bumla has its own excursion day. These are the high-altitude parts of the route, where weather, permission and personal comfort affect the day's experience.
Bomdila: A Stop on the Return Journey
Bomdila provides an overnight break after Tawang and before Kaziranga. It belongs to the Arunachal section of the itinerary and gives the journey a clear stopping point before you return towards Assam.
Kaziranga: One Jeep Safari
Kaziranga is known for the greater one-horned rhinoceros and its grassland habitat. Your package includes one jeep safari. The experience depends on the available range, operating conditions and wildlife movement, so no individual animal sighting can be promised.
If wildlife is the main focus of your holiday, you can also explore our Kaziranga tour from Guwahati.
Shillong, Dawki, Mawlynnong and Cherrapunji
Shillong is the base for the Meghalaya section. From here, you visit Dawki and Mawlynnong on one day and Cherrapunji on the next. This keeps the final sightseeing days together before your return to Guwahati.
Local Culture, Food and Etiquette
Travel through each place with time and respect for the people who live there. Ask before photographing residents, homes or religious activities. At temples, follow local instructions on footwear, dress and photography. Observe photography restrictions near border and security areas.
In Mawlynnong and other sightseeing areas, use designated bins and take your litter with you. Stay on marked paths and avoid disturbing wildlife during the safari. Local rules should guide your visit, even when other travellers ignore them.
Food preferences are worth discussing before departure. Tell us about vegetarian meals, allergies or other dietary needs when requesting your quote.
Only breakfast is included in the package. Lunch and dinner are not included. Restaurant choices and service can vary between the larger towns and smaller overnight stops.
Practical Notes: Altitude, Cash, Network and Packing
Understand the Altitude Changes
| PLACE | APPROXIMATE ELEVATION | ROLE IN THE TOUR |
|---|---|---|
| Tawang | 3,050 m / 10,000 ft | Overnight base |
| Sela Pass | 4,175 m / 13,700 ft | Planned stop on the approach |
| Bumla Pass | 4,633 m / 15,200 ft | Day excursion |
Being comfortable on a road trip does not mean altitude will feel easy. Rest after reaching Tawang. If you develop a headache with nausea, unusual tiredness or other symptoms, tell your travel coordinator and seek medical advice before going higher.
Worsening symptoms or breathlessness at rest need urgent medical help. Discuss the route with a doctor beforehand if you have a relevant medical condition.
Cash and Connectivity
Carry some cash in smaller notes for personal purchases. Keep permit copies, accommodation details and contact numbers available offline. Mobile connectivity can be limited away from main towns, so avoid relying only on live maps or online payments.
What to Pack
- Warm layers, a jacket and comfortable clothing for changing elevations.
- A waterproof jacket or compact umbrella, plus protection for your phone and camera.
- Walking shoes with a good grip for wet paths and steps.
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle and personal medication.
- A power bank and a small day bag for documents and essentials.
Before You Leave Each Hotel
Keep documents and warm clothing accessible rather than buried in your suitcase. Check the next departure time with your driver or coordinator. This matters most on the Bumla excursion, the safari day and your final transfer to Guwahati.
Who This Tour Suits
Families, Couples and Friends Who Enjoy Road Travel
For a family holiday, this route combines temples, mountain scenery, wildlife and Meghalaya sightseeing. It suits travellers who want several different experiences and are comfortable with early starts, hotel changes and time in a vehicle.
Travellers Who Need More Planning
Discuss mobility needs, motion sickness, young children and older travellers before booking. The high passes need particular consideration. A road-based itinerary can still involve steps, uneven ground and cold weather.
Share the whole route with a doctor if altitude is a concern.
Choosing the Right Pace
The trip covers three states in 11 days, so some days focus mainly on travel. If your group prefers shorter drives or more rest, ask about a customised plan. Any change to the duration or route needs its own price and confirmation.
Booking and Cancellation Policy
Booking Your Tour
- Send your travel dates, number of travellers and room requirements.

The ₹36,500 starting rate is based on a minimum of six travellers. A two-person booking needs a package quote based on your dates and accommodation requirements.
The full circuit needs a date-specific check. Heavy rain can affect roads and sightseeing, while Kaziranga has seasonal safari closures. Confirm which parts can operate before making travel bookings.

Dec 18, 2020This summer I booked our North East travel package with Tourist Hub at a friend's suggestion and we had an amazing tour! Our tour guide and services also were so good they guided us at every point. Though travelling with older parents might get difficult sometimes, with the guide we always felt comfortable and my parents also had a lot of fun during the Jungle Safari! We'll always be grateful to the Touristhub Holidays.

Dec 25, 2020In the North East tour and travels from Kolkata, one thing that you did not wish for is bad weather, But despite bad weather, our journey was a total time and money worthy one.
