Northeast India-Seven Sisters State of India✨

Seven States in the eastern most part of India

The Northeast corner of India is calling all adventure seekers and nature lovers! Often referred to as the Seven Sisters, these eight states (Arunachal Pradesh snuck in!) boast breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Let's explore a glimpse of what each has to offer:

1. Arunachal Pradesh: The Land of Dawn-Lit Mountains

Imagine snow-capped peaks piercing the clouds, emerald valleys cradling serene monasteries, and rushing rivers carving their way through the Himalayas.

2. Assam: Gateway to the Seven Sisters & Land of One-Horned Rhinos

Assam is the heart of the Northeast, with vast tea plantations blanketing rolling hills. Spot the elusive one-horned rhino in Kaziranga National Park, or cruise down the mighty Brahmaputra River.

3. Nagaland: Where Warriors Dance & Hornbill Festivals Dazzle

Immerse yourself in the rich tribal heritage of Nagaland. Witness the vibrant Hornbill Festival, a celebration of music, dance, and indigenous crafts.

4. Manipur: The Land of Exquisite Dance & Serene Lakes

Manipur is a cultural haven, famous for its graceful Manipuri dance form. Take a boat ride on Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, dotted with unique floating islands made of phumdis (heterogeneous masses of vegetation).

5. Meghalaya: Abode of Clouds & The Wettest Place on Earth ️

Meghalaya lives up to its name, with dramatic waterfalls cascading down lush hills and misty clouds clinging to the peaks. Sohra (Cherrapunjee) holds the record for the highest annual rainfall, making it a haven for trekkers seeking a truly mystical experience.

Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood in Splendor in the Grass (Elia Kazan, 1961)

Cast: Warren Beatty, Natalie Wood, Pat Hingle, Audrey Christie, Barbara Loden, Sohra Lampert, Fred Stewart, Joanna Roos, John McGovern, Sandy Dennis, Phyllis Diller. Screenplay: William Inge. Cinematography: Boris Kaufman. Production design: Richard Sylbert. Film editing: Gene Milford. Music: David Amram. 

This overheated melodrama, released the year after the introduction of the Pill, could almost be a valedictory to the 1950s. Deanie Loomis (Natalie Wood) and Bud Stamper (Warren Beatty) are two hormone-drenched Kansas teenagers in 1928 -- though the attitudes toward sex were still prevalent thirty years later -- unable to find an outlet for the passions they are told they should repress. He is under the sway of a bullying, motormouthed father (Pat Hingle in an over-the-top performance that's alternately frightening and ludicrous), while she has a frigid, convention-ridden mother (Audrey Christie). She goes mad and is sent to a mental hospital. He goes to Yale and flunks out. Such are the consequences of not having sex. The truth is, Splendor in the Grass is not quite as silly as this summary makes it sound. Kazan's direction is, as so often, actor-centered rather than cinematic: The performances of the four actors mentioned give it a lot of energy that at least momentarily overrides any reservations you might have about the psychological plausibility of William Inge's screenplay, which won an Oscar. There's also Barbara Loden as Bud's wild flapper sister, and Zohra Lampert as the earthy Italian woman Bud winds up marrying. In the end, the movie becomes almost a documentary of a moment in American filmmaking, when censorship was beginning to lose ground, and things previously unmentionable, like abortion, became at least somewhat tolerated. The film itself could almost serve as an indictment of the attitudes that produced the Production Code, which hamstrung American movies from 1934 to 1968. What distinction the movie has other than as a showcase for performances comes from Boris Kaufman's cinematography, Richard Sylbert's production design, and Gene Milford's editing.

Experience the Beauty of Meghalaya with Self-Drive Cars in the North East

Meghalaya, often referred to as the "Abode of Clouds," is one of the most stunning and lesser-explored gems in North East India. Known for its lush green landscapes, tranquil lakes, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant tribal cultures, this state offers a rich tapestry of natural beauty and adventure. While there are many ways to explore Meghalaya, one of the most exciting and flexible options is to rent a self-drive car and embark on a road trip across the state. The freedom and convenience of having your own car make the experience even more memorable, as you can immerse yourself in the natural wonders at your own pace.

In this blog, we will explore how to make the most of your self-drive journey through Meghalaya, the best routes to take, essential tips for driving in the region, and the must-see destinations that will make your road trip an unforgettable adventure.

Why Choose a Self-Drive Car in Meghalaya?

The primary advantage of a self-drive car is the freedom it offers. Unlike guided tours or taxi services, a self-drive car allows you to go wherever you want, whenever you want. Meghalaya is a state of scenic beauty, and each corner you turn offers something new – whether it’s the cloud-kissed hills, the dense forests, or the cascading waterfalls. With your own vehicle, you can stop at your leisure to take in the views, snap photographs, or even explore hidden gems that are off the beaten path.

Here are a few reasons why renting a self-drive car in Meghalaya is a fantastic choice:

Flexibility and Convenience: With a self-drive car, you're in control of your schedule. You can decide how long to spend at each destination and can explore remote areas that may not be accessible with public transport or guided tours.

Comfort and Privacy: A self-drive car provides privacy and a comfortable space, ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers. You can rest, relax, and even enjoy a picnic by the roadside without any disturbance.

Access to Remote Areas: Many of Meghalaya’s best attractions are located in remote regions that are not easily accessible by public transport. With a self-drive car, you can access places like Mawlynnong (the cleanest village in Asia), Living Root Bridges, and several hidden waterfalls.

Affordable and Economical: Renting a self-drive car might be a more affordable option compared to taxis, especially if you’re traveling in a group. You can split the cost of the car rental, fuel, and toll charges among your fellow travelers, making it an economical choice.

Best Routes to Take in Meghalaya

Meghalaya is a land of winding roads and scenic vistas, so the journey itself is as captivating as the destination. The well-maintained highways make it ideal for road trips, and each route offers a unique experience. Here are some of the best routes to explore:

It’s also the gateway to the stunning Living Root Bridges, an absolute must-see.

While the drive to Mawlynnong is beautiful, the destination itself offers a fascinating cultural experience. You can take a walk around the village, meet the friendly locals, and learn about sustainable living practices.

Tips for Driving in Meghalaya

Before you set off on your self-drive adventure in Meghalaya, here are some important tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience:

Road Conditions: While most highways and main roads are in good condition, some rural roads and paths to remote destinations may be rough. It's advisable to rent a sturdy vehicle with good ground clearance, especially if you're venturing into the hilly or forested areas.

Driving Skills: The terrain in Meghalaya can be challenging, with winding roads and steep inclines. Make sure you're comfortable with hill driving and have experience navigating narrow, twisting paths.

Weather: Meghalaya experiences heavy rainfall, especially during the monsoon season (June to September). It's essential to check the weather forecast before your trip and carry necessary rain gear, as roads can get slippery and some routes might be closed during the monsoon.

Fuel and Supplies: While major towns like Shillong have ample fuel stations, remote areas may have limited access to fuel and supplies. Ensure your car is fully fueled and stock up on essentials such as food, water, and a first-aid kit.

Local Laws: Familiarize yourself with local traffic regulations. Although Meghalaya is known for its relatively relaxed atmosphere, it's important to follow traffic rules for your safety.
