About the tour
About North East India
The “Seven Sisters and One Brother” — Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Sikkim — make up the most ethnically diverse region of India. With over 220 distinct tribes, India’s last green frontier, the world’s wettest place, the only floating national park, and Buddhist monasteries perched at 10,000 ft — North East India is the country’s final undiscovered gem.
