What to expect from tourism in North East India
The Siliguri Corridor- 14 kilometres at its narrowest- separates mainland India from the North East. The region consists of the states of Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura and Mizoram – fondly known as the ‘seven sisters’. Bordering Bhutan, China, Myanmar and Bangladesh, the North East is home to very diverse Indo-Tibetan and Indo-Burmese tribes.
The mighty Brahmaputra has created fertile plains for agriculture and acts as a communication and transport artery through rough terrain. The surrounding hills are inhabited by fiercely independent tribes who follow their unique culture and lifestyle largely in sync with their natural surroundings. This region offers a glimpse at rural Indian life, one that many travellers never get to see. Its raw, untouched and completely authentic – making it an experience you will never forget.
