NorthEast India Feb 2025: Day 1

Day 1: Chennai to Guwahati 

Very relaxed flight out, reaching MAA airport at 1pm for a 3pm departure.  Settled in to the lounge and caught up on a few emails and other admin. 


Saw our fellow travellers Viji and Saradha on the aircraft; they were seated many rows behind us. After landing at Guwahati, we waited for a long while for them to come forward and only later realised that they had left thru the rear doors. The front door was connected via aero bridge while the rear door had a bus waiting below.   First time I had seen it but apparently Indigo practices that. 


An interesting welcome photo op at the airport:


We had our driver Rajesh waiting for us and he would be taking care of us for the entire tour.  

Checked into Hotel Sachika and had a quick dinner together before retiring for the night.

DoDham Yatra Day 1 Fri 16May

  Left home at 1.30pm after a busy morning including last-minute business call.     Before board meeting on Monday morning.   Checked in and went to SQ lounge. Unfortunately our Singapore Airlines Krisflyer status has dropped n the past few years and so we were not able to bring in guests.    Had a nice lunch of Laksa and Dim Sum since we will be deprived of such local Singapore choices for a week, and later on even for months.. Watched a very Singaporean series on the flight - 4 hours of The Icons that made us.    Some nostalgia but I couldn’t relate to the events after 1999.  Very empty flight- a large double decker Airbus 380-800.  Flight landed 20mins early but had to wait a long while for luggage.  Turned in early at 10.30pm No photos taken.

Day 3: S hillong & Cherrapunji (Sohra)   Went for a morning walk from 6.30am but no spectacular views.  Departed hotel at 9am for Laitlum Canyon.  Some nice views but covered in mist even on a sunny day.  Arwah Cave: https://www.meghalayatourism.in/destinations/arwah-cave/ There are fossils visible on the roof and walls but we couldn’t spot any until we happened to see a guide for another group who pointed them out to us.  Thought I saw a Vishnu conch or Ganesha on the hillside - see if you agree… We stopped at a viewing point for the Gorge.  Disappointing as river beds are all dry with no rain from Nov to March.  Most memorable was meeting King Kong at a hilltop.  We went on to Noh Ka Likai Waterfall viewing point There was just a light trickle of water flowing and you had to imagine what it would be like after rain.  Mawsmai Cave  https://www.meghalayatourism.in/destinations/mawsmai-cave/ This cave was extremely narr...

DoDham Yatra Day 2 Sat 17May

Went for a walk to Connaught Circle park before breakfast.     After breakfast and checkout went for a quick car tour to India Gate.    Then shopping at a Delhi Cottage Industries shop (like Handlooms or Khadi Kraft).  And then to see the Akshardham BAPS LakshmiNarayan temple.    Said to be the biggest Hindu temple in the world. While their London Neasden temple is the biggest in the West - presumably written before their Chicago BAPS temple was built. Very strict security - no phones or Bluetooth devices allowed in, including smart watches.    Should have left everything in the car but we thought phones could be used for taking photos - mistake - the depositary was far from the Temple itself.    Shorts not allowed and so had to buy dhotis. Lack of hats and socks also took its toll in the hot Delhi sun.  Finally managed to depart, had lunch at the UP15 Dhaba outside Meerut and then straight on to Haridwar which we reached at 5....
