Our last visit to India was in 2012 so a next visit was due. We chose the North-East because the mouthwatering set of species (and landscapes, and food). This destination had been on our radar for many years, and this spring the plan came together. We were joined by our friends Sjoerd Radstaak, Jelmer Poelstra, Marten Hornsveld & Vivian Jacobs and as a total group of 6 people this worked out very well. Most of NE India cannot be done independently so we arranged the help of Peter Lobo (All India Birding Tours) and with 2 cars with drivers and a guide we set out for an awesome 3-week adventure. This was a great destination to visit with our friends and, as none of us had been in the area, everyone came home with an impressive list of new birds. In total we saw 511 species, of which 137(!) were lifers for us.
