The word "resort" connotes luxury, and many resorts assert their ability to provide it in a sustainable manner. The resorts that are committed to living sustainably and preserving their environment are eco-resorts. As people have become more aware of environmental issues, these sites have only just started to pop up.
As the trend of tourism in North East India is increasing, resorts are increasing in number. And people choose eco-resorts to make their stay luxurious and sustainable. Some of the best eco resorts in North East India are.
Community run cottages of the Angami Tribe
You can find these cottages in Touphema, Nagaland. The best time to visit the place would be during the winters from October to April.
With 16 different tribal groups living there, Nagaland is one of India's few unspoilt states and truly one of the country's most distant frontiers. Touphema is a charming hilltop village with a panoramic view of heavily forested valleys that is not far from the cities of Wokha, Mokokchung, and Kohima. The Angami are a hospitable, intelligent, and friendly tribe who live in this village. One of the few locations in Nagaland where community tourism is highly practiced is Touphema.
You should think about going to Touphema if you are the type of person who likes to explore new places to broaden your horizons and learn about other cultures. You can engage with the tribe's members and partake in their routine activities and customs by staying with them in one of the community-run homes. Here, ladies sing together while working on village chores as part of a common activity called community singing. While you are here, you can also visit the Tragopan Sanctuary and Khonoma Nature Conservation.
Diphlu River Lodge
This lodge is in Kaziranga, Assam and the best time to visit would be between November and April.
With the Karbi Anglong hills to the south and the Brahmaputra to the north, the 430 sq. km. Kaziranga National Park spans parts of the Nagaon and Golaghat districts of Assam. Although the great one-horned rhino is the park's most well-known resident, it is also home to elephants, tigers, bears, wild buffalos, panthers, the vulnerable Sambar deer and countless birds.
The Diphlu River Lodge is located close to this park. It's a perfect place to take in the sounds of the jungle and enjoy a cocktail while you watch rhinos bathe in the river because it's situated on the park's outskirts. The 12 homes at Diphlu, which are made of bamboo and wood and are constructed on stilts in the manner of the nearby Mising tribe, are surrounded by paddy fields and connected by walkways. A variety of birds pass over the area, and because there are no gates, tiny park animals are able to amble through it at dusk. The resort makes a concerted effort to reforest the lands near the property with the full goal of safeguarding the environment, conserving natural resources, and managing waste. Grey water is recycled at the on-site filtering pond and then utilised to irrigate the fields where organic rice, different vegetables, and mustard are cultivated.
La Maison De Ananda
This is located in Majuli Island of Assam and you can visit the place between November to March. Also, you can visit the place during one of the festivals celebrated in Majuli.
The Vaishnavite beliefs and practices are centred here and Majuli is home to 22 monasteries. For more than 500 years, it has served as the birthplace of Assamese culture. La Maison De Ananda is run by a Mising family. A collection of conventional bamboo stilt homes are constructed by two French architects who fell in love with Majuli. The dwellings were created in the Mising tribe's architectural style. "La Maison De Ananda" translates to "home of happiness" and the place will definitely make visitors happy during their stay.
Tai-Phake Ecotourism Camp
It is in Tipam village, Dibrugarh district of Assam. The best time to visit would be between September to March.
The settlement of Tipam is bordered by farmland, meadows, tea plantations, forests, and hills and is situated alongside the Buri Dihing river in eastern Assam. This settlement is home to the Tai-Phake, a tribe that left Burma some time in the 18th century. The Tais are Theravada Buddhists who live a sustainable life. Fishing and farming are their main ways to make money.
The Tai Phake Ecotourism Camp (TP ETC) was established as a community enterprise by the locals in order to help their unemployed Tai youth find a means of support while also contributing to the preservation of the wildlife sanctuary. They provide travellers basic lodging. You can either stay in their dormitory, which provides room for up to 12 people, or one of the little bamboo-built huts.
Kohima Camp
It is located in Nagaland.
Kohima camp is a luxurious tented camp erected in the forest wilderness for the Hornbill festival each summer, adding a touch of glitz and luxury to enjoying a stay in the stunning north-east Indian outdoors.
The tents are roomy and include verandas and en suite luxurious bathrooms. Each tent features a spacious four-poster bed, huge cupboards, and furniture in colonial style. Each camp contains a reception tent and a dining tent, the latter of which serves local, Indian, and international cuisine produced with materials acquired nearby and the former of which is furnished with a large library and board games.
The camps include narrated, in-depth tours to provide visitors a first-hand understanding of Nagaland, its customs, and food.
