Most Northeast India trips start the same way: fly or take a train into Guwahati, then head out to Kaziranga, Shillong, Cherrapunjee or beyond. Since each of these routes has different terrain, permits and driving conditions, it helps to know which Guwahati agencies actually specialize in the route you’re taking. Here’s a destination-by-destination look at ten options.
For a Kaziranga wildlife safari
Sidhi Vinayak Travel runs dedicated Kaziranga packages from Guwahati, including short 2-day/1-night trips built around the national park, the Orchid Garden and an evening Bihu dance performance — a good fit if you only have a weekend. Kamakshi Tours and Grand Eastern Holidays also run Kaziranga-focused itineraries with resort stays near the park.
For Shillong and the Meghalaya hills
Sidhi Vinayak Travel offers a one-day Guwahati-to-Shillong trip covering Umiam Lake, Ward’s Lake and Police Bazaar, as well as longer Meghalaya circuits reaching Cherrapunjee and Mawlynnong. Hill Rovers is another Guwahati agency built specifically around Meghalaya’s hill culture and offbeat villages, while Luit Tours & Travels combines Meghalaya routes with its own rental car fleet for flexible self-paced trips.
For Sikkim and high-altitude routes
Guwahati-to-Sikkim trips need more planning — longer drives and permit checks for certain areas. Sidhi Vinayak Travel runs a multi-day Guwahati-to-Sikkim package, and Cozy Tours and Travels, with its multi-decade DMC experience, is also equipped for this kind of longer regional circuit.
For Tawang and Arunachal Pradesh
Tawang requires Inner Line Permits and agencies experienced with the route. Sidhi Vinayak Travel runs a 6-night/7-day Tawang expedition from Guwahati, and Northeast Voyagers‘ tempo traveller and coach services are a common choice for group trips into Arunachal.
For Manipur and the Imphal route
Sidhi Vinayak Travel covers the Guwahati-to-Imphal route as part of its Northeast circuit packages. For general Manipur logistics support, My Voyage and Destinatia Tours & Travels are also active in this space.
For car rental and independent travel
If you’d rather drive yourself or just need a vehicle without a full package, Cloud Valley Travels and Luit Tours & Travels both run car rental fleets alongside their tour operations.
