October – April
Monsoon is heavy here and Meghalaya is among the wettest places on earth
Roughly November – April
The park closes through the monsoon months
Inner Line Permit required for several states
Foreign nationals face further restrictions — we confirm eligibility per passport before quoting
Bagdogra (IXB) and Guwahati (GAU)
Bagdogra for Darjeeling and Sikkim; Guwahati for Assam and Meghalaya
6–8 nights per cluster
10–12 to combine Sikkim with Assam and Meghalaya
The North East is the part of India that still feels genuinely uncrowded, which is exactly what makes it sell to repeat visitors who have already done the north. The usual programs cluster in two directions: Bagdogra for Darjeeling and Sikkim, and Guwahati for Assam and Meghalaya. Kaziranga anchors the wildlife half with the largest population of one-horned rhino anywhere, and Meghalaya carries the landscape half at Cherrapunji. The operational catch is paperwork — several states require an Inner Line Permit, and some areas carry further restrictions for foreign nationals, so eligibility has to be settled before a client is committed.
Colonial-era hotels and tea bungalows around Darjeeling, standard hotels at Gangtok and Shillong, and lodges at the Kaziranga gates. Inventory is thinner than elsewhere in India, so peak-season programs need earlier confirmation.
Long hill road legs with local drivers, permits prepared ahead of arrival rather than at the checkpoint, and Kaziranga safari slots booked with the park in advance.

It varies by state. Several require an Inner Line Permit for Indian nationals, and foreign nationals face additional restrictions in some areas. Sikkim's Tsomgo Lake and Nathu La excursions carry their own permissions. We confirm what a specific passport needs before a program is committed, because the paperwork cannot be fixed at the checkpoint.
Yes, but treat them as two clusters joined by a transfer day. Darjeeling and Sikkim work from Bagdogra, Assam and Meghalaya from Guwahati, and the road between them is long. Ten to twelve nights makes the combination comfortable; anything shorter is better spent on one side.
Between roughly November and April, when the park is open and the grass is low enough for sightings. It closes through the monsoon, and because the region's rains are heavy, the shoulder months are less reliable here than at parks elsewhere in India.
