Even by India’s standard, the North-East of India offers a cultural and ethnic diversity which is vast and unique. The region borders with Bhutan, China, Myanmar and Bangladesh and is home to very many different ethnic groups each with a distinct culture and language. The fact that not many outsiders visit this part of the country makes the region even more interesting and very delightful for discerning travellers. Explore the last frontiers of India… Visit the only matriarchal society of the Khasis, spot the one-horned rhinos of Kaziranga, enjoy the gentle cultural heritage of Majuli Island, interact with the fierce Nagas on the border of India and Burma and end the trip in lazy Dibrugarh at a lovely tea plantation bungalow.

Considering the vast and varied landmass, it comes as no surprise that India's climate is complex. If you prefer to avoid extremes of heat and rainfall, it's best to aim for the cooler, drier months of October through to March. However, if a trip to either of the country's extremities appeals, take note: For the southern states, the retreating monsoon (October to December) is a consideration. Here, you find the most appealing climate between November and February. For reliable trekking weather in the Himalayas 1000km to the north, peak season is October, November and then March and April.
