and rolling hills, immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of indigenous tribes, and indulge in thrilling adventures like trekking through living root bridges and exploring mysterious caves. Delight your taste buds

experience, covering all the must-visit attractions. Discover the extraordinary charm of Shillong and Cherrapunjee with Jowai, Mawsynram, Mawlynnong, Dawki, create lasting memories, and let the allure of this dream destination
captivate your soul.
Which Is The Best Time For North East Tour Package Booking From Guwahati?
Discovering the optimal time to secure your North East India travel package depends upon your specific travel intentions. Each season in the North East unfolds its own unique allure. For those yearning to partake
in the wonders of Kaziranga National Park, including its famed Elephant and Jeep Safari, the recommended booking window extends from November to the end of March, encompassing the winter and mid-summer months. Kaziranga's
winter offers a comfortably chilly experience with temperatures ranging between 6 to 24 degrees, ideal for exploring its diverse wildlife. Summer, from April to June, provides another opportunity for animal sightseeing,
but the heat can be intense. Monsoon, spanning from July to September, renders the park inaccessible due to flooding. If Kaziranga tops your travel wish list, opt for a winter holiday package in North East India.
Conversely, if your travel aspirations involve relishing the cascading waterfalls of North East, particularly in Cherrapunjee, NatureWings recommends to book your North East tour package between the end
of July and October. This period sees the waterfalls in their full splendour, brimming with gushing water - a spectacle best enjoyed during the monsoon in Cherrapunjee. Two seasons stand out as optimal for booking your
North East travel package:
Winter - Perfect for Kaziranga wildlife safaris and trekking to the various caves and root bridges of Cherrapunjee.
Monsoon - For those yearning to experience the enchantment of North-East waterfalls.
It's advisable to steer clear of the summer season, characterized by excessive heat and humidity, potentially diminishing the appeal of waterfalls and wildlife safaris. However, it's worth noting that summer provides an
excellent opportunity to explore Arunachal Pradesh, offering respite from the scorching heat prevalent in other parts of India. A Arunachal Pradesh tour package from Guwahati, featuring majestic destinations like Tawang tour, Dirang tour, Tawang Zemithang tour, Tawang Sangti Valley tour, and Tawang Dirang Shergaon tour, promises an awe-inspiring experience
amidst soothing cold weather.
In conclusion, different seasons cater to various North East India travel preferences—whether it's the allure of snow, wildlife encounters, or the magic of waterfalls. Tailor your travel intent accordingly and unlock the
myriad wonders of the Seven Sisters states.

It was a hassle free trip as everything was taken care of, all meals, travel, hotel bookings. Our guide Dorji was extremely courteous and accommodating.
Definitely recommend booking thru Naturewings for a holiday to the North East.
Recently visited to East Silkim with Naturewings. One of their sales person Gargee is very helpful. I have visited with them couple of times. Both the times they deliver nicely.I will recommend others once travel with them specially North Bengal. You will satisfied for sure.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to explore the enchanting state of Meghalaya, and my experience was made seamless and memorable, all thanks to the exceptional services provided by NatureWings. From start to finish, the trip was perfectly organised, reflecting the professionalism and dedication. Our journey covered the misty hills of Cherrapunji & Shillong.

Driver Dipjyoti was very knowledgeable & perfectly chosen every route. Additionally, heartfelt appreciation to Ankur, the salesperson, whose assistance and guidance right from the booking stage made the entire process smooth and hassle-free.

NatureWings’ expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction truly stood out, making this Meghalaya trip unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to the North-East.
We had a fantastic tour of Arunachal Pradesh and while we were slight hesitant to begin with as it is not a touristy destination we were very comfortable with Nature Wings. We couldn’t have been more right ..Nature Wings designated Preyashi on our tour and she was there through out with us (virtually) for all 8 days. She enquired everyday about any thing we wanted, guided us through out and Cab driver was the best we ever had.
I will strongly recommend Arunachal with Nature Wings and don’t forget to ask for Preyashi and the same CAB driver. I am sure Preyashi would know his name (so bad we forgot his name).
Lastly , the resort at Auranchal - Timilo is definitely worth visiting !!
We were cautious to begin with on our Ladhak tour. We had heard about the difficult terrain, non connectivity and height sickness issues. However, the experience there was really out of the world. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour operator than Nature wings for Ladhak. While we had a very good experience with them on our Bhuran tour this was no exception. We had guidance at every step and we enjoyed the entire journey knowing we were in safe hands. All hotel and particularly transport (this is one key variable in Ladhak) was perfect. Special shout out to Debjani and Sayani. Debjani was all through out in touch through What’s App and that was a great comfort. We look forward for our next tour now ..North East and needless to say - through Nature Wings !!
Our recent trip to North East Arunachal Pradesh with NatureWings was nothing short of magical! From the breathtaking beauty of Dirang, the peaceful charm of Bomdila, to the majestic landscapes of Tawang, every destination left us completely spellbound. The raw, untouched beauty of this region is something everyone should experience at least once.
What truly elevated our journey was the flawless coordination and heartfelt support we received from the NatureWings team.

We highly recommend NatureWings to anyone planning a trip to Arunachal Pradesh or the North East. Their professionalism, personal touch, and attention to detail made this a 5-star experience we'll always treasure!
We recently completed an unforgettable Arunachal Pradesh tour with NatureWings, covering Bhalukpong, Dirang, Tawang, Bumla Pass, and Bomdila. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and wonderfully curated. Special thanks to our sales advisor Suman, whose professionalism, patience, and in-depth knowledge helped us plan the perfect itinerary. He guided us through every detail with clarity and made sure our requirements were fully met.
Our journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Arunachal was made even smoother by the dedicated coordination of Preyashi. She stayed in constant touch throughout the trip, ensuring that hotel check-ins, local transport, and sightseeing arrangements went off without a hitch. Her responsiveness and proactive attitude added immense value to the experience.
Bhalukpong and Dirang offered serene beauty and a peaceful start, while Tawang mesmerized us with its majestic monasteries and rich cultural heritage. The highlight was definitely Bumla Pass - a surreal, snow-covered wonderland at the Indo-China border. Bomdila’s charm and scenic views provided the perfect ending to the trip.
NatureWings exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re considering a North East India trip, we wholeheartedly recommend them – especially Suman and Preyashi, who made our vacation truly memorable.
We recently booked a trip with Nature Wings to Arunachal Pradesh. We had a seamless experience booking the trip with them. A special thank you to our associate Aakansha for her prompt assistance everytime and checking up on us regularly. Mr. Suman Paul was also very prompt and helpful in planning and customising our trip as per our requirements.
Our trip was specifically for Arunachal Pradesh, beginning with Guwahati to Tezpur - Bomdila - Tawang - Dirang and back to Guwahati. The entire itinerary was so well planned according to our requirements. The car and driver assigned to us was also very helpful. All the hotels they included in the package were very comfortable and one of the best of that particular place.
My father Dr Bhavin Vashi and I very strongly recommend Nature Wings to plan your next holiday especially for North East. We have travelled avidly and have used services of many travel agencies including MakeMyTrip, but we have never had an experience like the one with Nature Wings. They are simply amazing in their customisation and assistance. They are extremely responsive and helpful. So if you are looking for a good travel agency to plan your holiday you must get in touch with Nature Wings. Thank you for making NorthEast one of our most memorable holiday.
