We’ve arrived in Guwahati, the capital of the state of Assam. It is the jumping-off point for the ‘seven sisters’ – the seven small Indian states in the north-eastern part of the country. Our mission here is to try to get a permit to visit one of the sisters: Arunachal Pradesh, and then move on.
Ethnically, Arunachal Pradesh is Tibetan rather than Indian, and we know of a few places that look seriously interesting: almost-mythical Tawang monastery, for example.
Should we be unable to get the permit, we hope to visit the Kaziranga National park: home to two thirds of the planet’s wild Rhinoceroses. Other options include a quick foray into Sikkim and/or spending some time in the province of Bihar. Whatever we end up doing, rest assured that we will post about it here!
