Nov2,2025

Why winter: clear blue skies, possible snow-dusting, epic sunrise views and Himalayan silhouettes.

Lamang Pass / Sangti area, Arunachal Pradesh

Why winter: extremely remote, brilliant stargazing and crisp river valleys — camping here feels truly wild.

De Afra / Dibang Valley, Arunachal Pradesh

Why winter: the Umngot River becomes crystal clear in cold months — camping on the riverbank is surreal (boats look like they float).

Why winter: crisp trekking weather and remote ridgelines — perfect for off-grid camping and biodiversity watching.

Nokrek (Tura Range) — Biosphere Reserve outskirts, Meghalaya

Why winter: cool, clear mornings, sea-of-clouds views and very low tourist density in many hamlets.

Jampui Hills (Eden View / lesser-trodden ridgelines), Tripura

Why winter: elevated alpine woods (Lengteng) and deep jungle (Dampa fringes) become easier to traverse — remote birding & quiet camps.
