What our customers ask about Northeast India Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Northeast India?
Northeast India welcomes visitors from October to April with good weather and clear conditions. During November to February temperatures stay mild and skies remain clear. This makes it easy to spot wildlife at Kaziranga National Park or visit places like the Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati. A TourRadar reviewer noted "I visited in November and found perfect weather for both wildlife safaris and cultural exploration plus there were many other solo travelers during this peak season."
What types of accommodations can solo travelers expect on Northeast India tours?
The accommodations range from standard hotels to eco-lodges and local homestays. Kaziranga offers single rooms at places like Borgos Resort and Wild Grass Lodge with modern comforts. For a local experience remote areas like Majuli Island provide traditional family homestays. Many places including the Landmark Hotel in Guwahati and Hotel Majestic in Shillong have single rooms without extra fees. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "The mix of accommodation styles really enhanced the experience from luxury resorts in Kaziranga to charming homestays in tribal villages."

Shillong called the "Scotland of the East" stands out for its welcoming atmosphere with busy cafes and safe areas to walk near Police Bazaar. The Cygnett Inn Trendz offers good security and places to meet others. In Guwahati the riverside near Vivanta by Taj and the area around Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra welcome visitors warmly.
