Northeast India-what not to miss?
hi all. am about to head out for assam and eastwards next week from here in kolkata on my buddy's bullet. just got back from a month in bangladesh.
just wondering if anyone has any tips on beautiful drives through the norhteast of india and what i should not miss out on.
the plan is assam and down through meghalaya to tripura and mizoram. then up through nagaland to arunachal pradesh and tawang. i will be going through most national parks along the way.
i will find a place with a nice hotel and use it as a base for day trips throughout the area and then move on. i will have until the end of april or more for the trip.
also, if anyone knows the possibility of getting into the areas requiring a permit without one, i would like to hear of it. the office here in kolkata says you must be in a group of 4 or a married couple. strange requirements, but hey, its india! he 'suggested/hinted' that i could talk to the officers at the state borders and probably work out a deal. good old baksheesh, i suppose.
any help gets a big thanx.
