| THE
ENCHANTING NORTH EAST |
A
misty dawn on the mountains. A bronze sunset across
the expanse of the Brahmaputra. The clang of prayer
bells at a monastery. Life moves at a serene pace
in the North East. The North East is composed of
seven states whose natural beauty has earned them
the sobriquet of 'seven sisters'. The entire North
East India is a land of great natural beauty and
variety. Framing these fertile valleys of the rivers
Ganga and Brahmaputra is the Himalayan chain in
the north, Arakans in the east and the Khasi and
Garo hills of Meghalaya, in the south, the region
is rich in flora and fauna. The region is also home
of the famed Royal Bengal tiger, one horned rhino
and troy antlered deer. North East is the home of
great cultural traditions. A large number of very
colorful tribes with interesting customs and traditions
live here. Shillong, known as the Queen of the East
is really a perfect getaway. Sikkim is a snow clad
mountainous region which is a botanists dream. The
mighty Kanchenjunga is the presiding deity of the
region. Kaziranga the homeland of the one horned
Rhinos, Elephants and many other endangered species
is internationally famous. Darjeeling is the tea
center of the world.
