Chennai to Menchukha: My 7th North East road trip in 9 years

We started with one plan and finalized a completely different one just 10 days before the trip as most friends couldn’t join this time.

BHPian adetour recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Prelude:

It was yet another year of wondering where to go during the year end, and then finally falling back to our default option – The North East! Spoilt for choice with lots of pending places in NE, we started with one plan and finalized a completely different one just 10 days before the trip as most friends couldn’t join this time.

Finally, it was only one car – MK’s XUV500 (now 2.4L + on yellow), 3 of us, usual 17 days and 7752kmswe covered Zojam, Takot, Kahao, Hamking.

Some snippets from the drive:
