Guwahati · Cherrapunji · Mawlynnong · Shillong · Kaziranga · New Jalpaiguri · Gangtok
Tour Overview
This 10 Days Assam, Meghalaya and Sikkim Tour combines three distinct Northeast India regions in one long itinerary. The journey begins in Guwahati, continues through Cherrapunji, Mawlynnong and Shillong, then moves to Kaziranga National Park before continuing to Gangtok in Sikkim.
The itinerary is suitable for travellers searching for an Assam Meghalaya Sikkim tour, Kaziranga Gangtok itinerary or a 10 days Northeast India tour. It combines Khasi Hills scenery, Kaziranga wildlife and Sikkim’s mountain landscapes with Tsomgo Lake and the Nathula Pass excursion.

Kaziranga safari operations depend on permits, seasonal opening, weather and forest regulations. Wildlife sightings are natural and cannot be guaranteed.
Tsomgo Lake and Nathula Pass are high-altitude destinations. Access depends on weather, road conditions, permit approval and local or military restrictions.
Nathula Pass should never be promised as guaranteed. If access is unavailable, the sightseeing plan should be adjusted according to local conditions.
