Inspiring green journeys to North East India
Thrown across the farthest reaches of India, obscured from the greater world by ageless forests and formidable mountain ranges, the Northeast States are one of Asia’s last great natural and anthropological sanctuaries. Sharing borders with Bhutan, Tibet, Nepal, Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh, these remote frontiers are a region of rugged beauty and a collision zone of ancient tribal cultures, rich wildlife, untouched landscapes and original peoples.
Endless freedom
The Northeast is divided between the fertile Brahmaputra plain, dry or wet jungles, high plateaus and Himalayan foothills. Outdoor activities such as trekking, rafting, kayaking and mountain biking are still pioneering here. Essentially naturalistic, rich in varied discoveries, unusual encounters and anthropological experiences, taking place in magnificent, often unspoilt landscapes. This Eastern Himalayas, formerly known as the “Indo-Burmese”, has been identified, along with Bhutan and southern Nepal, as a global biodiversity hotspot. Endowed with numerous national parks (2 of which are recognized by UNESCO) and wildlife sanctuaries, Northeast India is a paradise for nature and wildlife lovers.
You can discover some of our 60+ example itineraries in Northeast India and around. You can browse them either by State (Menu : 7 sisters > State > Tours) or by a highlighted experience or activity (Thematics). These tours have been designed and developed based on our on-ground team’s real discoveries and expeditions in the northeastern states and beyond.

Eastern Route organized my travel in Northeast India. Choices of places to visit, accommodation and driver were very good. I received a warm welcome from him and he really cared about my happiness and my satisfaction. I also feel that he knows this area of India very well, and that gives me the desire to come back and discover this area with his experience.

I can testify that the services of this young but seasoned outfitter are not only professionally top-notch, but mostly wise and eco-friendly: the staff and the owner/manager act in all situations with high standards of ethics, respect of the local communities and values, constant care of the environment or how to alleviate our impact, attention to detail and altogether the sincere love of the job well done. In particular, I recall the experiences of in-depth immersion within local homes and tribal villages of Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Assam: each time, when we parted, our hosts and ourselves were filled with the same sense of rich moments shared together, and a better understanding of our common humanity, which, for real travellers, rank as invaluable treasures.

If you’re looking for a true adventure in one of the most exciting and untouched parts of India then get in touch with Laurige at Eastern Routes. Although i’m quite well travelled in some remote parts of the world, nothing prepared me for the remoteness and sheer experience of trekking in the upper Konyak region of Nagaland. The natural beauty, sense of adventure and overwhelming kindness and hospitality of these once feared headhunters resulted in probably the trip of my lifetime to date. This was down to Laurige’s meticulous research, solid grasp of Hindi (he’s French) and warm character that was able to open doors for us as we went along on our journey. if you’re a seasoned traveller and are looking for a new frontier, look no further the NE India, a place we seldom notice, yet is full of secrets and surprises beyond our imaginations. After years of explorations, Eastern Routes have got the region covered with some fantastic tours and adventures .10/10.

We traveled twice with Eastern Routes, once in Meghalaya in 2017 and in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in 2018. We highly recommend their services, they are very professional, have a real expertise on North-East, and offer unique trips to remote places off the most traveled routes. We will definitely travel with Laurige and his team again! Looking forward our next trip with Eastern Routes 🙂

After travelling a little bit everywhere in India, came to us the idea of visiting two states : Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland. We asked Eastern Routes to organize our 12-days holidays from a program we made (Driver and hotel bookings). The main highlight was the good English of the driver, a big part of the trip success.
