The North East Chapter

An expedition crafted for those who find freedom in the untamed.

Some journeys challenge your endurance, this one challenges your spirit.

From the vibrant pulse of Guwahati to the tranquil heights of Tawang, the road winds through rhino-strewn grasslands, mist-laden passes, and monasteries that touch the clouds. Every bend demands attention, every mile rewards curiosity.

This is 1,130 kilometres of raw, unpredictable beauty - a journey that rewards the bold and humbles the unprepared.

It's not for those who seek comfort. It's for those who seek connection - with the road, with nature, and with themselves.

This is the Volkswagen Experiences: North East Chapter - where the journey is as wild as your ambition, and only a Volkswagen will take you there.
