The Himalayas in northern India make an exotic alternative to the traditional Christmas break.
Travellers planning to go on holiday over the festive period may want to try something different this year and book holidays to India.
North-east India offers travellers a white Christmas in the foothills of the Himalayas as an exotic alternative to ski resorts in Europe.
Tours are now available to India’s least populous region of Arunachal Pradesh, allowing tourists to take in the snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya mountain range.
Activities on offer include a drive to visit the largest Buddhist monastery outside Tibet and an elephant-back safari in the Kaziranga National Park.
Hiking, rafting and angling are other options visitors to the region may want to consider.
Arunachal Pradesh is one of the states that comprises a group known as the Seven Sisters, each offering opportunities to explore the foothills of the world’s highest mountain range and experience the culture of this remote area of India.
