North East India Tour Packages From Lucknow start from INR 17,000 and go up to INR 61,000 per adult, with itineraries ranging from 6 to 11 days. These tour packages allow travellers to explore a range of popular destinations in the North East such as Meghalaya, Sikkim, Darjeeling, and Arunachal Pradesh.
Lucknow is a practical starting point as direct flights are available from the city to Guwahati, taking around 2 hours. Connecting flights through Delhi or Kolkata take longer, depending on the layover time. Train travel is considerably slower; i.e., the fastest current Lucknow-Guwahati Rajdhani Express takes around 23 hours, while other trains take around 27–31 hours or more.
The best time for a North East trip depends on the selected destination. October-November and March- May are suitable months to explore outdoor attractions and hill towns; however, weather varies across the region. Meghalaya routes can cover Cherrapunji, Shillong, and Dawki, while Sikkim itineraries include Lachung, Gangtok, and Tsomgo Lake. Arunachal Pradesh packages include famous places such as Dirang, Tawang, and Bomdila. During the trip, travellers can enjoy popular activities like nature walks, trekking, sightseeing, visiting monasteries, and river activities.
Since this is a domestic trip, Indian citizens do not need a visa. However, travellers are required to follow entry or travel-permit requirements in some areas of the North East. For example, Arunachal Pradesh needs an Inner Line Permit for domestic visitors, so travellers should check the requirements for their chosen route before departure.
With Lucknow to North East India packages, travellers have flexibility to choose an itinerary based on the available days and the region they want to explore. A shorter 6-day itinerary from Lucknow can focus on one destination such as Sikkim, while an 8–9-day North East tour package provides enough time for exploring routes like Arunachal Pradesh or Meghalaya without making the trip rushed.
