Tourism has always been a great contributor to the gross domestic product of India. In particular, the northeast of the country is home to a diverse range of jungles and hills. If you are thinking of heading to this great nation for your vacation, here is a snapshot of what northeast India tours look like.

With lots of fantastic destinations in it, choosing a specific spot in the northeast can be an arduous task. The destinations in this part of India are often sorted into individual packages by tour companies. This notwithstanding, one of the best regions to visit is Tawang. Before heading out, ensure your tour organizers have your transportation and accommodation needs sorted out.

Tawang is a governmental district in the Arunachal Pradesh province. It holds an unchallenged reputation of being the most naturally endowed of all the administrative districts in the province. Lots of natural wonders call this place home. Most organizers have a liking for the distinct cultures, valleys, ancient monasteries and orchid gardens in the district.

Tourists have two transport alternatives to the area. They can travel by air to the Guwahati airport or head there by train. Local and international investors have noted the potential for growth through in the local tourism sector and have built great hotels in Guwahati. Upon your arrival, your first stop should be the Kamakhya Devi Temple. Thereafter, relax at a five star establishment as you wait for the next day.

Indian districts usually cover vast swathes of land. Bhalukpong, which should be the first stop on your second day, is 245 kilometers away. Many tourists flock it to check its vast array of plant species. A popular local garden has over 450 rare orchids, a distinct record in this nation. The Kameng, a snow fed river, cuts across the lands of Bhalukpong.

Another important attraction, Dirang, lies five hours away from Bhalukpong by road. It is home to the Monpa valley, an 8600ft escarpment. When around, explore the Bomdila Monastery as well. It was opened in the year 1965 and is currently used by Buddhist monks and Lamas.

Your tour will get more interesting when you visit Tawang town. You might need a whole day to explore its entire expanse. The Tawang Monastery is its star attraction. The monster was founded by Mera Lama Lodre Gyaltso in the 1600s. Currently, it hosts ancient Buddhist texts and over 500 monks. Other noteworthy sites in the municipality include the Monpa Village and the Urgelling Monastery.

Twenty five kilometers away lies the 1962 Indo China War Memorial. It is a site built in memory of a soldier whose heroic actions during the war made him stand out. According to historical accounts, the soldier defended his position against the Chinese for 72 hours without help. The post was at an altitude of 10000 feet. Despite his heroic act, the wounds he sustained while at it proved fatal. The memorial is surrounded by nature trails.

Due to the high visitor traffic throughout the year, early booking is recommended. Also ensure you get vaccinated prior to traveling. Without a doubt, you will have the time of your life.
