North East Trip

posted May 12, 2010 9:58 AM by Ganesh App
About a year back Spencer told me about the Dylan Festival that takes place in Shillong (Meghalaya) every year. I had decided then, that I would at least attend one of them sometime in my life. Thanks to my impulsive nature, it has happened so quickly.
 
Arpit, whose travel ideas I keep flicking (China, Bhutan etc.), is also coming along with me. I will also be bumping into Carly (my Madhya Pradesh trip partner) and Vy (fellow Bangalore Frisbee player, who has baked me a lot of cakes) during the trip.
 
We will be reaching Guwahati on 23rd morning and we will be spending the day/night at Altaf's place. Altaf is a filmmaker who has made many films and some of the Assamese films are even listed on imdb. We found him via CouchSurfing and he has kindly agreed to host us at his guest house. We aren't planning to spend much time in Assam. Our rough itinerary seems something like this:
Meghalaya:

Dylan Festival
Umium Lake (Bara Pani)
Mawsynram
Mawjymbuin cave
Nohkalikai falls
Mawlynnong

 
Tripura:   

Agartala
Ujjayanta palace
Neermahal palace
Tripura Sundari temple
Kamala sagar lake
Sipahijala wildlife sanctuary
Unakoti

Mizoram:

Tamdil (85 km) -Jungle, boat ride
Vantawang (152 km)
Phawngpui (300 km)
