Meghalaya, Sikkim and the Northeast — root bridges, waterfalls and roads that take longer than the map suggests.
The Northeast rewards slower itineraries. Distances that look short on a map are mountain roads, and two significant stops a day is a realistic ceiling.
Meghalaya is the wettest inhabited place on earth and its waterfalls need the rain, which makes season choice more consequential here than almost anywhere else in India.
Permits, where required, are arranged as part of the booking.
