Highlights of Assam and Nagaland

There were 6 highlights on the trip. - Guwahati - living tree bridges - Hornbill Festival - Kaziranga NP - Majuli island - Longwa head hunters village. Each were excellent. The accommodation and food were generally much better than I expected. Most meals were included. All were good except for a couple of 'locally' prepared meals. The choice of restaurants and hotels were as good as could be expected considering where we were. Our guide Sanjeev was very professional and organised. If there were any issues they were kept behind the scenes. This is a trip for the experienced traveller. I would suggest that there are other parts of India to visit before putting Assam on the list. The reason I give is because of the distances between each of the highlights. Long days, some of them uncomfortable. Our 2 drivers did an excellent job looking after us given the driving. However the highlights made up for the travelling at least as far as I was concerned. There aren't many trips to this part of India and is very much off the Western tourist trail with no MacDonalds in sight, which, for me, is a huge bonus
