The homeland of the Garo tribe — one of India's few matrilineal societies. The Nokrek Biosphere Reserve protects rare orchids and Red Pandas. Siju Cave (the "Bat Cave") on the Simsang River is stunning, and Balpakram National Park is called God's own garden.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon rains bring lush vegetation; some parks close. Wildlife active near water sources. (high crowds.)
