The alluring land of North East India is one of the most treasured eco-friendly sites in the world. This isolated and mysterious land of natural abundance is still to be touched by the outside world.
North-East India lies deep in the lap of easternmost Himalayan hills in north-eastern part of India. Connected to rest of India by merely 20 km of wide land (at Siliguri, West Bengal), the North-East India shares over 2,000km of border with Bhutan, China, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Ranging from the shores of the Bay of Bengal to the peak of Kanchanjanga, the third highest peak in the world and the highest in India, the region offers a spectacular variation in landscapes.
Start your journey in Kolkata, the gateway to the East and the intellectual capital of India with avant garde plays and art exhibitions practically every day of the year.
From Darjeeling one of the most beautiful hill stations in the East to Sikkim in the North East, a fairy-tale place where pretty houses perch precariously on steep mountain slopes above incredible scenic panoramas.
Witness a striking land of contrasts with unique flora and fauna, monasteries, temples, aromatized tea gardens, generation to generation folklore, deep dales and enchanting plateaus, extraordinary terrain, diversified cultural heritage and ultimately a real sense of peace and serenity.
