The North-East of India is a richly varied region of misty hills, river islands, living root bridges, and vibrant tribal cultures — a world apart from Chennai's coastal bustle. From Chennai, the North-East lies roughly 1,948 km away as the crow flies, and flying is the most practical way to get there, taking around 3.5 hours. Whether you have a long weekend or a few days to spare, several well-structured packages make it easy to plan your first trip.

Check current flight options from Chennai for routes and fares that suit your travel dates.
By Train
Rail travel from Chennai to the North-East gateways is possible but involves very long journey times and usually one or more changes; it is best suited for travellers who enjoy the scenic overland experience and have flexible schedules.
