  • Route Suggestions for North East India and Himalayan Questions

    Hi guys, I'm an Indian-Kiwi looking to ride the North East of India for 2 weeks. I've done a solo half-lap of Australia and the North East of India has always enchanted me as a destination - both the people and the views.I enjoy off-roading and anything outdoors so if you live in any of the North Eastern states and want to have a drink, coffee or a hike send me a message!

    Also If you live in Mumbai and wanna chat that works too(don't know anyone in Mumbai either)

    I'm searching for some specific and general advice as it will be my first solo trip in India.

    1.How much should I expect to pay for my PAP

    2 I have roughly 2 weeks and I'm looking at starting in Guwahati or Shillong, with no route plans other than going to Tawang.

    What other places in all the 7 sisters do you guys recommend? I'll incorporate them into the trip as I'm big on photography

    3 For accommodation,do you use any apps? I'm planning on staying in homestays along the way.

    4.Finally, bike rental - are there any shops/rental outfits that have a good reputation located in Guwahati? I am also looking at buying spare tubes, levers, cables and other sundries, could you advise on a decent store in Guwahati to source these parts for a R.E Himalayan. Please let me know

    Interested in hearing from those who have done the North East of India.

    My current plan is looking like this

    Day 1 - Land in Guwahati
    DAY 2 - Guwahati to Bomdila
    Day 3 - Bomdila to Tawang
    Day 4 - Tawang to Zemithang, Guntse
    Day 5 - Tawang to Bomdila
    Day 6 - Bomdila to Tezpur
    Day 7 - Tezpur to Shillong
    Day 8 - Shillong
    Day 9 - Shillong
    Day 10 - Shillong
    Day 11 - Shillong to Guwahati

    Cheers, Tushar
