Northeast India
Nestled in the easternmost part of India, Northeast India is a region of unparalleled beauty, cultural diversity, and rich history. Comprising eight states — Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, and Sikkim, this region is often referred to as India’s best-kept secret. Northeast India shares borders with several countries, including China, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. This unique position makes the region a cultural and ecological bridge between South Asia and Southeast Asia. From snow-capped mountains to lush tea gardens, vibrant festivals to untouched wildlife, Northeast India offers a range of experiences for every traveler.

The region falls under the Eastern Himalayas with the Brahmaputra river and its tributaries cutting through and creating the Brahmaputra valley in the middle. Northeast India is a Biodiversity hotspot with more than 65% of its geographical area under forest cover. WWF has identified the entire Eastern Himalayas as a priority Global 200 Ecoregion. Two National parks here Kaziranga and Manas are UNESCO world heritage sites famous for the One Horned Indian Rhino. Moreover the International Council for Bird Preservation, identified the Assam plains and the Eastern Himalayas as an Endemic Bird Area (EBA). With around 900 bird species spotted this area is probably the best birding hotspot in Asia.
