Bid farewell to the lush embrace of Kaziranga and set forth on a scenic journey toward the captivating haven of Majuli. As you traverse the roads, you’ll see how the ever-changing landscape makes for the perfect backdrop. Arriving at Majuli is akin to stepping into a realm where time ceases to exist. Indulge in an authentic Majuli thali complimented by the local rice beer. Every bite, every sip tells a tale on its own. Afterward, prepare to be mesmerized by the island’s artisans, the skillful mask makers whose hands breathe life into wood and paint. Standing witness to their timeless craft that has been passed down through generations is like traveling back in time. Overnight stay at Majuli

As the sun bathes the landscape in gold, excitement fills the air for an unforgettable day. Leaving Majuli behind, you'll head towards Ziro. The road winds through lush green meadows and as you conquer unpredictable terrains and river crossings, you'll feel the thrill of being part of this expedition increasing tenfold.

Tawang lived in the shadows of the Indo-China War for decades before reclaiming its prominence as a land known for peace, ethereal beauty, and Buddhist culture.

Overnight stay at Tawang

As you traverse the breathtaking route to Tezpur, you’ll realize how the excitement of this drive lies not only in the distance covered but, in the landscapes, conquered. Leaving Tawang behind, the roads will take you through the undulating terrain of Arunachal Pradesh as you traverse into a different state. Amidst this breathtaking journey, the Nuranang Waterfall will beckon you closer. To witness its cascading magnificence is an experience on its own which is why it’s a popular halt point on this road trip.

Afterward, you’ll bid farewell to Cherrapunji and proceed to Guwahati, but the enthralling journey ahead only promises to be as breathtaking as the destinations you leave behind. Traverse along serpentine roads that offer breathtaking views of mist-kissed mountains and dense forests for one last time. Overnight stay at Guwahati
