Northeast India, the land of pristine beauty and untouched streets, is the destination still left undiscovered. You talk about culture, you talk about food, or just peace of mind, Northeast India will not shatter your expectations. Maybe these are areas that you can also find in any parts of the country, but there’s more to explore when on a trip to the incredible Northeast:
1. Oh so Green: Unlike the set of buildings you see at every spot in the metropolitan cities with no signs of greenery around, the Northeast cities will cover the same for you. Each of the eight states is known for their lush green corners that leave one mesmerised and wanting for more to explore and take in the beauty.
2. Friendly People Around: You ask for a help from one, four others will come your way to assist you with your needs. A northeastern has time for himself as well as for people around him. Whether you are looking for your way towards a restaurant you have been recommended or someplace else, ask the commoner there and you will be assisted well.
3. Culture: Nothing can beat the rich culture of the Northeast like any other state. The perfect mixture of traditional and contemporary art in every area makes each state unique on its own. Moreover, you cannot even imagine the endless list of colourful attire and delicious cuisines rich in an outstanding range of spices.
4. Ruling the Media: Be it the soothing voice of Angarag Mahanta aka Papon and the Shillong Chamber Choir; the unbelievable victories of Mary Kom and Bhaichung Bhutia or the chilling attempts of “Iron Lady” Irom Chanu Sharmila and RTI activist Akhil Gogoi, they have gained and continue to gain utmost respect for their creative approach in their respective fields.
5. Ideal Vacation Destination: A mountaineer, a foodie, a shopper or just a traveller in search of unique destinations to explore, each state of Northeast India welcomes every traveller and promises a memorable stay.
6. Untouched Beauty: While Meghalaya is known for its set of hills, magically twinning with the gush of a river below, a visit to Assam will introduce you to a plethora of heavenly Assamese cuisine and the famous one-horned rhino.
7. Unbeatable Festivals: How exciting is it to even think to walk through lush green trails to reach a height set with a beautiful stage where artists of various genres will step in to give their performance? 🙂 Just the thought gives us chills and fills us with delight!
8. Peace of Mind: Unlike the ear-piercing music you are introduced in every pubs or cafe in the cities, the Northeast states also give you many options to sit back and relax while sipping your beer, wine or just anything taking in the mesmerising views of the sunset, mountains and rivers.
So, which of the 8 sisters goes to your bucket list?
