This goes for every trip planning, however, to travel solo to Northeast India needs more attention. It cannot be denied that every spot out there is picturesque and has unique patterns of culture, traditions, and social life. Yet research is necessary before you head out to this massive place in terms of travel type, seasons, or places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, you can attend the famous Hornbill Festival of Nagaland or the Sangai Festival only in the first week of December and the last week of November respectively. Likewise, visiting places like Tawang, Loktak Lake, Dzukou Valley, or Kaziranga National Park have specific seasons to visit. Hence, being aware of the place thoroughly is a must to satiate your travel hunger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Your bag will consist of stuff according to the place you are traveling to. Keeping in mind that the Northeast is a hilly region, prepare to fight cold and unexpected rain while visiting Shillong, Parts of Arunachal Pradesh, and Manipur. Remember you are solo traveling so there\u2019s hardly anyone to come to your aid anytime you need. Pack efficiently like light but warm clothes, compact toiletries, first aid kits, umbrellas, and waterproofing materials for your electronic gadgets. Also, use of credit or debit cards are not yet popular in the rural areas. Therefore, carry lot of cash to pay for your basic needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most Northeast states are reachable through major airlines and railways. Assam and Nagaland are well connected with both air and railway, but other states have only airlines and road connectivity. In fact, traveling is not a wide-range option in most of the states. Moreover, most districts in the states like Manipur, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh operate transportation only until the sunsets. However, inter-state transportation is available in all the states to travel at night. As a solo traveler, you must gather precise information about the transportation of every place you are journeying to. Check out for taxis or buses that are operated by the government or trusted travel agents to guide you. In such a regard, you can also get help from Liamtra to guide you through your entire journey to Northeast India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nobody wants to get stuck with constraints, right! Contrary to the infinite beauty of the region, most of the Northeast states have issues with bandhs, strikes, and curfews often. Having abreast of the current situation or news can really save you from getting stuck to one location or getting stranded as a solo traveler. You cannot help yourself if these cases arise as you cannot move out and the situation can become out of hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not very recently was this place a tourist-friendly region and due to this not many of the far-fetched areas were aware of tourists’ hype.
