To ensure a safe, enjoyable, and culturally respectful experience across the North East region of India, we request all our travellers to kindly follow these guidelines:

Before You Travel

Carry Valid ID Proof: A government-issued photo ID (e.g., Aadhaar, Passport, Voter ID) is mandatory for all travelers.

Inner Line Permit (ILP): Many North Eastern states require ILPs. Our team will guide you through the application process or arrange them on your behalf if included in your package.

Travel Insurance: Highly recommended for emergencies such as cancellations, accidents, or health-related issues.

Medical Precautions: Carry personal medications, altitude sickness tablets (if visiting high-altitude places), and a basic first-aid kit.

 

Packing Essentials

Clothing: Dress in layers. Include warm clothing for hills and light cottons for plains. Carry rain gear during monsoon.

Footwear: Comfortable walking or trekking shoes are essential.

Eco-Friendly Supplies: Reusable water bottles, biodegradable toiletries, and minimal plastic usage are encouraged.

Power Banks and Chargers: Some remote areas may have power cuts or limited charging points.

 

Respect the Local Culture & Environment

Cultural Sensitivity: Respect local customs, attire, and traditions. Always ask before photographing people or religious sites.

Language: English and Hindi are commonly understood in many regions, but learning a few local phrases is appreciated.

Sustainability: Avoid littering. Use dustbins, don’t pluck flowers or disturb wildlife, and say no to single-use plastic.

Noise Levels: Maintain peace at monasteries, forests, and homestays. Loud music or disruptive behavior is discouraged.

 

During the Journey
Stay with the Group: Always inform your tour guide or group leader before venturing out alone.

Safety First: Follow instructions from guides and locals. Do not attempt risky treks or river crossings without proper supervision.

Local Transport: Travel time may be long due to hilly terrain or poor road conditions. Stay patient and enjoy the scenic beauty.

Meals: Inform us in advance of any dietary restrictions. North East cuisine may vary—embrace the new flavors!

 

Community Interaction

Buy Local: Support local artisans and businesses by shopping for handmade crafts, organic produce, and souvenirs.

Homestay Etiquette: Respect the privacy and rules of host families. Help keep spaces clean and use resources mindfully.

Photography: Avoid using drones or cameras in restricted areas without permission.
