North East India vs Himachal: Which Mountains to Choose?

Travellers deciding between the North East and Himachal Pradesh are really choosing between two very different Himalayan worlds.

Himachal

Himachal is more developed and easier to reach, with popular hubs like Shimla and Manali — great for a first, convenient mountain trip.

North East

The North East is wilder, greener and far more culturally diverse, with fewer crowds, unique tribes and dramatic, offbeat scenery — ideal for the curious traveller.

• Himachal: developed, accessible, popular
