Overview

A long motorcycle journey through the hills and valleys south of the Brahmaputra

This motorcycle and overland tour explores a fascinating arc of Northeast India, travelling through Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram and Nagaland. The route follows hill roads, river valleys, forested ridges and culturally diverse borderlands while uncovering the layered histories of the region south of the Brahmaputra.

The landscape changes every few days. Riders move from the broad Brahmaputra Valley into Meghalaya’s dramatic plateau country, continue through Tripura’s royal heritage and forest landscapes, follow Mizoram’s winding mountain roads and finish among the highland villages of Nagaland. Remote roads, local markets, traditional settlements and scenic viewpoints make each section distinctly different.

Designed for riders who enjoy long days on the road without reducing the journey to distance alone, the itinerary allows time to pause, meet local communities and experience regional food and hospitality. Cultural encounters reveal how language, architecture, cuisine and traditions shift across this compact yet remarkably diverse part of the Indian subcontinent.

The final route can be customised according to the season, available time and rider experience. With flexible support and strong regional knowledge, this Northeast India motorcycle tour combines adventurous roads, changing landscapes and cultural immersion across five distinctive states.
