Eastern India

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Eastern India encompasses the states of West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand, and the Seven Sisters of the Northeast, spanning from the Gangetic plains to the Himalayan foothills and the Bay of Bengal coastline. The region is home to Kolkata, India's former colonial capital and a hub of art, literature, and street food culture, as well as ancient temple complexes like Odisha's Konark Sun Temple and the Jagannath Temple in Puri. Travelers are drawn here for its extraordinary biodiversity — including the Sundarbans mangrove delta and Kaziranga National Park — alongside tribal cultures, Buddhist pilgrimage sites, and some of India's most distinctive festivals, including Durga Puja and Rath Yatra.

Self-Launched Eastern India: Kolkata, Assam, Meghalaya & the Northeast

Explore one of India's most extraordinary and undervisited regions entirely on your own terms. This self-launched 17-day route through West Bengal and the Northeast takes you from the colonial grandeur of Kolkata through Assam's tea estates, rhino-rich Kaziranga, the tribal heartlands of Nameri, and the misty highlands of Meghalaya — home to the world's cleanest river village and ancient living root bridges. You'll swap a guided group tour for local buses, shared jeeps, and state ferries, cutting the price dramatically while gaining the freedom to linger where you choose. All costs are approximate estimates for a solo budget traveller.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Eastern India yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
