If India is an incredible book, then the North East is one of its most exciting and colourful chapters. Our North East India Tour With Holiday Scout unearthed some of the gems of the region for us and whetted our appetite for more. It was our second trip to the region after our visit to attend the BASCON festival in Basar and the Adventure festival in Mechuka, both in Arunachal Pradesh a few years back.

We were eagerly looking forward to our customized and specially curated tour of Arunachal Pradesh by Holiday Scout. We had missed out on a similar trip a couple of years back owing to unavoidable circumstances, and this time around the stars seemed to be in our favour and we were excited about our 11-day North East odyssey with Holiday Scout, and it turned out to be a trip of a lifetime.

The trip started from Guwahati and ended at Guwahati, and was packed with immersive travel experiences that were curated with lots of thought and love by Holiday Scout.

We were driving to our destination as per our itinerary and were in the middle of nowhere when the car was stopped. We stepped out into what seemed to be a paradise. Flowers, red, pink, and white swayed magically on slender stems, they seemed to stretch out to the horizon on both sides of the road. We could almost hear the great poet William Wordsworth, saying, “A host of colourful Cosmos, Besides the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”

It was a surreal sight that stays etched in our minds for posterity. They were Cosmos flowers, and the Holiday Scout Team knew exactly where they could be found as well as their flowering season.
