North East India Photography Guide

Few regions offer photographers such variety — snow peaks, waterfalls, tribal culture and wildlife, all within a compact area.

Landscapes

Shoot Kanchenjunga at sunrise from Pelling or Tiger Hill, the Sela Pass in Arunachal, and Dawki's mirror-clear river in Meghalaya.

Culture and wildlife

The Hornbill and Ziro festivals are portrait goldmines (always ask consent), while Kaziranga delivers superb wildlife and misty-grassland shots.

  • Sunrise: Pelling & Tiger Hill
  • Sela Pass & Dawki for landscapes
  • Festivals for portraits (with consent)
  • Kaziranga for wildlife

We plan photography tours around the best light and seasons — request net rates.
