Private 22-Day Northeast India Birding Expedition
A private 22-day Northeast India birding journey through a broad Northeast India circuit from Brahmaputra wetlands and rainforest to Eastern Himalayan forest camps, with guided field time and confirmed park activities.
About this tour
The most extensive Jungle Travels India proposal follows a 22-day arc through Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. It starts with four nights at Kaziranga, then works east through Jorhat, Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, Panidehing, Dihing Patkai, Dibru-Saikhowa and Maguri Beel before reaching the Mishmi foothills around Roing and Mayudia.
A long westbound transfer opens the second half of the journey. The route climbs from Balipara into Eaglenest for forest-camp birding at Lama and Bompu, descends for a walking and rafting day in Nameri, and finishes with repeated safari time in Manas plus a visit to Kakoijana.
The programme uses private road transport with an English-speaking escort, local specialists, boat crews and forest staff for the listed activities. Accommodation ranges from heritage tea bungalows and lodges to simple guesthouses and serviced tents. The document’s price expired in April 2026, so BirdWatch.info will obtain a current quotation before booking.
