INTRODUCING STATES OF NORTH EAST INDIAUsually referred to collectively as the North East, the seven sister states are geographically attached to India only by a thin thread. These states only perform in national observation when something major occurs. They have also been off the tourist trail, though are now ebbing their way in.
In my opinion, these far reaches of the Indian subcontinent are capable of taking away a large chunk of Indian tourism. But, they don’t bother. Happy in their own world, the stunning North Eastern states of Assam, with its tea gardens, Meghalaya with its tree root bridges, Sikkim with its vibrant Bhutanese culture and virgin, out-of-the-world gorgeous, mountain flanked landscapes have been keeping their beauty to themselves. Together with Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Mizoram and Nagaland, they form the seven sisters of the North East India. Most locals, born and bred here take their paradise like natural surroundings for granted. The hundreds of nature loving tribes of the North East prefer their privacy, yet are endearingly friendly and welcoming. Their culture is influenced by neighbors Burma, China and Tibet. The only drawback in these parts is political unrest, and certain states require entry permits.

Tawang Valley: AKA Little Tibet, sunk in between massive mountains, is reached by crossing the 4176m high mountain pass of Se La. Cherrapunjee: Is the striking rain capital of India, inspired many a famous poets and songwriters who have composed on the Megh Raaga (a progression scale of Indian classical music which requires decades to master, and if performed perfectly, is believed to create rain out of thin air). Sikkim: With colourful monasteries rising out from scenic, virgin landscapes, and snow-capped mountains, every waking moment in Sikkim is a visual treat. |
