East India, it will change your perceptions. If you thought

languages and dialects, one can well imagine the ethnic
diversity of North East India. People express themselves in
colourful dresses, dances and festivals all the year round.
The
region is a tourist’s delight offering a wide variety of
tourist interests like wildlife tours, tea tours, river
cruising tours, adventure tours, pilgrimage tours, cultural
and ethnic tribal tours etc. It is possible to stay in a
colonial tea garden bungalow inside a lush green tea garden.
River
cruise is now available for tourists in luxury vessels on the
mighty Brahmaputra which is one of the 25 longest rivers in
the world with a total length of 2,900 km. The cruise is an
opportunity to see Assam through the river route which was
used prominently by the mighty Ahom rulers for transportation
especially during the decisive battles with the Mughal rulers
of Delhi. Tourists can have breathtaking experiences of white
water rafting with some grade IV rapids along with angling of
Golden Mahseer and Trout fishes in the tributaries of
Brahmaputra in its upper reaches in Arunachal and its border
areas of Assam.
For the
tourists of wildlife and nature, North East India is among the
17 designated bio-diversity hotspots in the world. The region
is home to a large number of endangered plant and animal
species. It is also a treasure house of rare herbs. More than
500 species of Orchids are found in North East India, some of
which are endemic to this region. The National Parks and
Wildlife sanctuaries of the region present endless wildlife
adventures to animal lovers and bird watchers.
North
East India the very name conjures up a vision—that of bio
diversity, cultural diversity, ethnic diversity, freshness,
vibrant traditions, cool and soothing climate. This is an area
that remained long in isolation; the veil is gradually
lifting, giving an opportunity to the rest of the world to
explore this exotic and unpolluted region. |
