Why North East India
India's North East is a cluster of seven states where Khasi villages grow bridges from rubber-fig roots, Kaziranga's floodplains shelter the one-horned rhino, and Tawang's monastery watches over the Himalaya from 3,000m. Meghalaya's waterfalls and Dawki's glass-clear river sit a short drive from Guwahati, while Arunachal's high passes demand more time and a permit. Expect slow mountain roads, Khasi and Assamese food, and landscapes that stay wet and green long after the plains have dried out.

- Cherrapunji's waterfalls and living root bridge treks
