Beyond the usual tourist trails, North and East India form a region of rare richness \u2014 from the sacred banks of the Ganges at Varanasi to the tribal frontiers of Orissa, by way of the colonial grandeur of Calcutta. Far Destinations Tours designs tailor-made itineraries here that blend spirituality, heritage and authentic encounters, far from the classic circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This region calls for detailed local knowledge \u2014 tribal markets that run on a single fixed day each week, temples with specific visiting hours, night trains that need careful coordination. For over 20 years we have organised this kind of demanding journey with a single point of contact, rigorous planning, and close attention to detail, opening the door to an authentic and still largely untouched world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is this trip suitable for first-time visitors to India?<\/strong> This region is more adventurous than Rajasthan or the classic Golden Triangle \u2014 we tend to recommend it to travellers keen to go off the beaten path, though we always adapt the pace and comfort level to your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do the itineraries involve overnight train journeys?<\/strong> Some itineraries include overnight trains between major cities; we can arrange a flight alternative if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When is the best time for this trip?<\/strong> Winter (November to February) offers pleasant weather and, at Chilika Lake, the presence of migratory birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
