Hi guys,

Does anyone have any up-to-date info /advice on travelling in Arunachal Pradesh (and Assam), particularly in regard to permits? Looking to travel in Feb/March...

Thanks a lot,
Dave

Hello,
I'll be in Guwahati, State of Assam, 4 and 5 November 2007; I am looking for a very budget friendly accomodation: a hotel, or any sort of accomodation, as long as it is a safe one, of course, for 1 person for two days. I will arrive at the Guwahati airport at about 7 pm, 4 November: is there an info point there, so that I won't have a hard time finding an accomodation without booking first ? I'd like to have a very downtown place to stay: is there some sort of shuttle to and from the airport ?

One more point: is there the Guwahati old town where one can get the flavor of non modern India ?

Thank you for any reply anyone of you will kindly post

hello,

We're planning a trip to North-India for december this year. We also want to go to the
Darjeeling area. But how is the weather there in december? I heard it can be pretty cold there
in the night.

I wish to travel to beautiful Assam in April/May, from Toronto Canada. Could anyone please tell me the favoured route to use i.e. Delhi or Calcutta? I like meeting people, have heard assamese are very friendly. I love beautiful scenery. Have read they have lots of it. I'd like to know some budget hotels in Guwahati so I can visit the nearby temples.

Thank you for whatever help you can give me.

Question about sightseeing in Tezpur: Is the Bhairabhi temple the same place as the Ancient remains of the Bamuni Hills ? Thanks.

Does anybody know is the Darranga/Samdrup Jongkar a legal border crossing for western foreigners (from Assam to Bhutan) ?
