About Northeast India
For those who do not know, Northeast India comprises of eight states – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. The Himalayas and its waters define the region’s terrain, climate, rich biodiversity, and the peculiar indigenous lifestyles her people follow. That North East India is bound by Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet to the north, Bangladesh to the south and west, and Myanmar to the east hints at the eclectic mix of cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity. This is where elements of Asia come together to do what they do best – cast a spell.

My parents travel to a new country every year. My dad has been thinking about going to India as he is highly obsessed with the culture. I will tell him about this book so he can check it out. He loves to read and write so who knows, he might turn in some travel submissions of his own!
Nice to learn that your parents explore a new country every year. We would welcome his adventure stories 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this! Indian embassy recently just informed that they will give us Indonesian passport holder free visa for tourists and that definitely triggers me to explore the fellow big country. The book must be a total help to arrange the itinerary. So glad that I stumbled upon this! 🙂
That’s a great news Marya. Hope you travel soon 🙂 Thank you so much.
I am so glad to see that an unexplored part of India is being highlighted. With the recent bad news about India being the worst place for women, its nice to see the positive side of India.
We understand your concern. But if we all were to believe all that is broadcasted in media, we would not be able to travel possibly to a lot of many countries! This region is considered as one of the safe places for solo women travelers too.
India is at the top of my bucket list. I really want to go to the Taj Mahal. It’s a dream of mine!
Thanks Kate. Hope you get to visit India and your dream comes true soon. Happy Travels!
I’m going to be in India in August so this book will be so helpful! Most of my trip will be spent in Haryana but I’ve been trying to find other things to do and exploring the North East.
