North East India

I have been inquired about the very best time to check out North East India or the North East as it is also referred to, more than once and every time my response has actually been slightly various from the previous one. The reason being, even after being born, brought-up and lived there for over twenty years of my life, I could not determine which is the season during which the north-east was at its best. My personal favourite is the monsoons in the North-East when whatever rich green and the waterfalls and natural pools are at their best. However anyway, let me offer you an unbiased insight then you take a call according to your taste.

This part of the nation is extremely varied in itself and there is constantly something terrific to experience, feel and see all through the year, in each and every season.

It all depends upon what you actually wish to see or experience in your check out to the ‘north-east’.

Do you desire to escape from the summers of the plains or do you want to experience the cold early mornings of the snowy winters here, or is it the greenery and gushing waterfalls here that interests you?

The alternatives are endless, we are talking about the north-east mind you:-RRB-.

But anyway, when a question is asked quite typically it needs to be answered and so, let me aim to ‘answer’ it.

What is the best time to check out north-east India?

The short response would be:

· The monsoons, if you desire to see the stunning waterfalls of the and lavish green environments all around.

· The winters if you wish to see snow and crystal clear rivers and emerald coloured pools.

The a little verbose response would be; for those who desire to check out a location when it remains in its ‘perfect’ shape and don’t trouble about other similar individuals thronging locations of interest, November through April or perhaps mid of May is the time when many of the north-eastern states remain in excellent condition without any rain, landslides or any such thing. The recently-started Tawang Festival likewise happens in this duration, during the first weeks of the month of May.

If you are among those who like to walk along with the clouds or wishes to see the countless waterfalls in their full glory, the monsoon months beginning from mid of May to the months of September-October are just perfect for you.

Nevertheless, do not forget about the landslides that are rather common in these months. If you are alright with the possible landslides costing you a day or 2, then my good friend, I assure you that the plant you will see in the north-east will be 2nd to none.

If you would desire to meet the one-horned rhino, the pride of the Kaziranga National Park and its other neighbours the correct time to go to starts from the month of November, for the next six months. Meghalaya in the monsoons too is beautifully gorgeous.

The well-known Hornbill Festival which showcases all aspects of the Naga tribal culture happens in the recently of November or the very first week of December. So if that’s what you have in your mind, to find out about Naga people and their cultures and take part or witness in the lots of fascinating competitions like the chilli eating or pork-eating competitions that happen during that time, you now know when you need to go!

This, in other words, ought to give you a concept of what to anticipate where month in the north-east.
