North East India 5-Day Itinerary Ideas

Five days isn't long for a region this vast, so the trick is to focus on one destination rather than rushing between states.

Option 1: Meghalaya

Guwahati arrival, then Shillong, Cherrapunji and Dawki over four nights — a satisfying loop of waterfalls, caves and the crystal river.

Option 2: Sikkim & Darjeeling

Bagdogra to Gangtok with a Tsomgo Lake day trip, then Darjeeling for Tiger Hill and the toy train.

Option 3: Kaziranga wildlife

Guwahati, two nights at Kaziranga for safaris, and a night in Shillong on the way back.

  • Focus on one region in 5 days
  • Meghalaya, Sikkim or Kaziranga work best
  • Keep drives realistic
  • Fully customisable to your client

We'll cost any 5-day route at net rates — just send us your client's interests.
