1.In which month should you visit the North East?
This depends on the part of the North East you plan to visit. If you want to go to Meghalaya, try to arrange a package between October and April. Again for Assam, November to March is the best time. If your North East tour package is focused on Arunachal Pradesh, October to April is ideal.
2.How to plan the best Northeast trip?
North East is a vast place. You can only complete part of the North East in a single trip. You’ll have to arrange for separate tour packages. If you plan to visit during the summers, try going to Sikkim, Tawang, Nagaland and Meghalaya. Again in the winter visiting Arunachal Pradesh is a better option. You can also add Assam and Manipal to the list for winter tour packages. Cherrapunji is famous for its monsoon vibes. Hence you can plan to visit the same during the monsoons.

Out of the 7 North East states, you’ll need inner-line permits to visit Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Mizoram. You can either get it online or ask the Guwahati airport to help you with the same.
