Half the fun of
the travel is
the esthetic of
lost ness.

Cultural
Pursuits has
been offering
customized trips
in North East
India for the
past 10 years -
we have
developed a
reputation for
unique travel
ready to do and
try almost
anything no
matter how rough
-
recomendations.
If you can
imagine it we
likely are
willing to do
it, as long as
it is within our
philosophy
and our goals in
travel - based
on
SUSTAINABLE
TRAVEL NETWORK
standards.
Often neglected
in discussions
of India, the
Seven States of
North - East
India,
(otherwise known
as the Seven
Sisters) offers
a unique
experience to
the traveller.
The mainly
tribal people of
the North-East
have long been
neglected
politically and
economically by
the Indian
Central
Government, but
have survived
with strong
feelings of
independence.
The area offers
diversity in
culture,
language, art,
climate and
environment, so
much so that one
is often amazed
at the
difference
between regions
just a few
kilometres
apart.
Most of the
North East has
now been made
accessible to
travellers,
however it is
still with a
certain degree
of difficulty
making it a low
volume tourist
destination.
This makes it an
ideal spot for
those who want
to get away from
all the touristy
spots.

Cultural
Pursuits
offers you a
glimpse of this
unique part of
India.
Our philosophy
is to enhance
and promote the
cultural
diversity of
North-East India
in a culturally
and
environmentally
friendly manner.
Five star hotels
are not in the
itinerary. We
will be staying
in clean and
sanitary guest
houses and
hotels in cities
and
accommodation in
the villages
will be in
village homes or
camping. We do
our best to fit
the trip that
fits your
budget.
The area is made
up of many
different tribes
and languages
and the
background
knowledge of our
guides is
invaluable. We
will travel from
the Assam
Plains, where
the mighty
Bramaputra river
dictates much of
the people's
life, to
tropical
rainforest rich
in flora and
fauna.
Experiences will
range from the
famous Tea
Gardens of Assam
to sighting of
the rare
One-Horned
Rhinoceros in
Kaziranga,.
Treks through
the Jungles of
the Garo, Khasi,
Naga, Aruanachal
and other
Hills of the
North East.
Or Stay in a
village home and
enjoy the
tranquillity of
travel with no
set time limits
- for often the
best experiences
just happen.
Whatever your
choices, we hope
you share in the
love and
excitement we at
Cultural
Pursuits feel
for the region.
