Question 1

What is the best time to visit North-East India?

Accepted Answer

The best time to visit North-East India is from October to April, when the weather is dry and pleasant. This period avoids the heavy monsoon rains (June–September) that can make trekking and road travel difficult. October to December offers clear skies and lush greenery post-monsoon, while January to April is ideal for cultural festivals like the Hornbill Festival in Nagaland.

Do I need special permits to visit North-East India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, several states in North-East India require special permits. Arunachal Pradesh requires an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Indian nationals and a Protected Area Permit (PAP) for foreign nationals. Sikkim requires a permit for certain restricted areas like Nathula Pass. Manipur, Mizoram, and Nagaland also require ILPs for Indian citizens. These permits are typically arranged by your tour operator, and we handle all permit formalities as part of our packages.
