Plan your tripThe questions every first-time visitor asks, advance permits, safety, getting there answered in plain language before you commit to anything.
Is Northeast India safe for tourists?
Yes. The states we operate in are welcoming to visitors. Every journey carries a Route Safety File, nearest hospital, evacuation route, network dead zones, landslide-prone stretches, plus vetted drivers, no night driving on mountain roads, and a 24×7 duty line during your trip. We tell the truth about roads, weather and comfort, and build a buffer day into hill itineraries.
Do foreign nationals need a permit?
Some states require a Protected Area Permit for foreign nationals, and Indian citizens need an Inner Line Permit for areas such as Arunachal Pradesh. Rules vary by state and nationality and change over time, so we maintain a permits desk that handles it for you and confirms your permit position in writing before you travel.
How do I get to Northeast India?
Most journeys begin at Guwahati (GAU), the region's main airport, well connected to Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. From there we arrange every transfer and internal leg, you never have to piece the logistics together yourself.
What does a journey cost?
Custom domestic journeys start around ₹9,000–₹18,000 per person per night, all-inclusive. Custom international journeys are USD 180–350 per person per night, including permits and a naturalist or cultural lead. Destination day trips start around ₹2,500. We don't discount, we protect price by adding value and certainty.
How do payments and deposits work?
You reserve with a deposit, never a full prepayment to a stranger. We quote in your currency, accept international cards and bank transfers, and give you a clear deposit and refund schedule with a named person you can reach.
Is solo and solo-female travel welcome?
Yes. Small group sizes, vetted hosts and guides, and a duty line make our journeys well suited to solo and solo-female travellers. We're glad to connect you with past guests before you book.
