Road Trips
The Tawang road’s snow passes, the Guwahati-Shillong run, North Sikkim’s permit loops and Zuluk’s 32 hairpins.
This is India’s great road-trip region: the Tawang road over Sela, the Guwahati-Shillong-Sohra cliff run, North Sikkim’s permit loops to Gurudongmar, the old silk route’s Zuluk hairpins, and the long inter-state lines like Dimapur-Kohima-Imphal.
Roads rule everything: start early, keep buffers, and respect the monsoon.
