The underdogs of Indian tourism, Northeast India bags the
most underrated and incredible adventure destination. The region offers
unparalleled natural beauty and humble hospitality. Thanks to social media and
its influencers, Northeast is finally getting the recognition it deserves as an
ideal tourism destination in India.
Reaching here isn't as complex as one might think. There are
two major airports that connects the Northeast from the rest of the nation. IXB
airport in Siliguri W.B is the nearest airport to Darjeeling and Sikkim.
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati is the gateway to
the seven sisters namely - Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. Although direct flights are available for
Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura form major cities; locals often avoid opting for
direct flights due to expensive fair and unfavorable weather conditions which
often results in cancelation. It is advised to take a flight to Guwahati and
opt for bus or cab for further journey.
