If you are travelling in summer to take a break from mundane lifestyle and looking for a less commercial yet mind refreshing tourist spot, Ziro Valley in Arunachal Pradesh will be the best place. The flourishing paddy fields, gurgling rivulets and placid locale will amaze you and urge you to sit at the edge of a small hillock to feel one with nature. The long stretches of greenery that expand as far as you eyes can see and the pleasant weather would make you feel enchanted. Go exploring the small villages of Apatani tribes who are very friendly. Observe their lifestyle minutely and you can see how the women of this tribe sport huge bamboo nose plugs. For authentic tribal village tour in North-East, you can explore the villages like Hong, Dutta, Bamin and Hija all of which are located within a distance of 10km.

However, for hotels and other day to day necessities you can depend on Hapoli (New Ziro) which is around 7km South of Ziro Valley.

If you want to walk amidst the clouds even in the sweltering heat of July, head this summer to Cherapunji, one of the wettest places on earth. 58km from Shillong this amazing tourist spot has vivacious waterfalls, lush green meadows and delightful weather that make your sweet summer feel appropriate. Officially known as Sohra, Cherapunji has abundant camera-friendly landscapes which will be not less than a lifetime experience. Nohkalikai Falls is reckoned to be the tallest plunge waterfall in India. Some of the liveliest waterfalls in Cherapunji are Seven Sisters’ falls, Dainthlen Waterfalls, Mawsmai Falls.

The only hill station of Assam, Haflong is dubbed as the “white ant hillock” and you will undoubtedly fall in love with it once you reach there. Located at a distance of 310km from Guwahati, this quaint hill station revives you from inside as there is an absence of commercialisation and disturbing honks. Less crowded and less advertised in comparison to other Indian hill stations, Haflong appears to be the best summer holiday destinations in Assam. The headquarter of North-Cachar District, this tourist spot bears a handful of historical buildings carrying the marks of the British colonial past and looks vibrant for the scenic vistas dotted with crystal clear mountain streams, small hillocks and the blend of lush greenery and dense vegetation of pineapple orchards. Instead of lying down in leisure out of love with this place, go exploring the attractions of Maibong or the mysterious Jatinga where birds from different corners of the globe gather to commit suicide.
