Why this Journey?
Assam, known as the gateway to the Northeast, Its vibrant culture, warm hospitality, and scenic landscapes dotted with tea estates and mighty rivers welcomes you warmheartedly. As you travel eastward, the terrain transforms dramatically – Arunachal Pradesh, India’s ‘Land of the Rising Sun’, greets you with pristine forests, tribal heritage, and Himalayan serenity.
Tea gardens of Assam

Nuranang Falls
Nuranang Falls, also known as Jang Falls, is one of the most stunning and lesser-known waterfalls in India. Cascading from a height of nearly 100 meters (328 feet), the falls create a mesmerizing white veil against a backdrop of pine-covered hills and rugged Himalayan terrain.
A spiritual powerhouse – Kamakhya Temple
Perched atop Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, the Kamakhya Temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in India. It’s a powerful symbol of feminine energy and attracts both devotees and curious travelers.
