Here we are giving the list of top 5 Biker's destinations in North East India. These destinations are given keeping in view of the roads as well as the worthiness of the places.

Shillong

If you are visiting North-Eastern India, ignoring Shillong is truly unaffordable. It is also known famously as the Scotland of the East. Misty hills and beautiful waterfalls let one forget everything bitter.

The journey to Shillong from Guwahati is clearly uphill and one needs to take a sufficiently powerful Bike to enjoy riding. Avoiding 100 CC Bike on this road is advisable.

Otherwise, the way is beautiful and enjoyable. Though there are fewer fuel stations on the way. The total distance from Guwahati to Shillong is approximately 80 Km, but it takes at least 2 – 2 ½ hrs to cover the distance. You can rent a Bike in Guwahati from our pick-up point and continue your journey straightway to Shillong.

Having a raincoat is a wise choice as chances of rain are live anytime throughout the year. On reaching Shillong explore places like Elephant Falls, Shillong Peak, and Don Bosco Museum.

Don’t forget to enjoy water sports on the Umiam Water Sports Complex which is on the way to Shillong at famous Umiam Lake. There are other places too which are worth visiting like Air Force Museum which is very near to Elephant Falls, Sweet Falls, and Wards Lake.

Cherrapunji

Cherrapunji is just 70 km away from Shillong and the journey can be taken up after visiting Elephant Falls (the last place on the road to Cherrapunji from Shillong) if one wants to save some time. It is one of the best roads in India to drive a motorcycle being enormously beautiful and challenging.

Waterfalls here are a common thing and one should be able to see them flowing along the way. Where ever you like, stop and enjoy the nature has given to us.

Being the rainiest place in the world, keeping a raincoat while driving is highly advisable. Don’t forget to test your adrenaline as there is a place to do Zip Lining just 20 km off Shillong.

As you move towards Cherrapunji, the journey becomes more and more exciting. Places to visit there are Mawsmai Limestone Caves (Tip: Remove your shoes are there is some water inside and the floor is slippery), Nohkalikai Waterfalls, Seven Sisters Falls, and Double Decker Living Roots Bridge.

Dawki

Riding to Dawki is again a pleasure. Hilly terrains, lovely mountains, and loud waterfalls will make you feel like in heaven. Dawki is 80 Km from Shillong and the must-visit things are Living Root Bridge, Mawlynnong which is the cleanest village of India, and Bangladesh Border.

Doing adventure sports is a pleasure here. You can enjoy doing scuba diving, Snorkelling, Kayaking, etc

Ziro Valley

This place is itself a World Heritage Site owing to its mesmerizing beauty, flora and fauna, and stunning landscapes. The 4 lane road is fine and will make you reach Tezpur in about 3 to 4 hrs. From Tezpur, it takes around 8 hrs to reach Ziro.

You can also plan to break your journey in Itanagar which is on a little diverted route. If you have planned a North East India bike trip, then Ziro must be on your list.

Watching the valley of Ziro is a pleasure in itself. Places to visit there are Talley Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, Kile Pakho, Ziro Puto, Tarin Fish Farm, etc.  Trekking and watching birds in Ziro is one of the loveliest adventures you may plan to enjoy.

Tawang

Tawang is the heaven on the earth. Words can’t describe the stunning natural beauty of this place. And the road to this heaven will definitely test your driving skills. The drive offers breathtaking views throughout the way. Located in Arunachal Pradesh, Tawang is a popular tourist place embedded in rich culture and a favorite holiday destination for adventure seekers.
