North East Indian Destinations
North-East of India
is the land of Natural beauty, Blue Mountains, Green Valleys and
River. Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas this region is abundant
in Natural Beauty, Wild life, Flora & Fauna and its Colorful
people. A blend of all these makes it the most beautiful
Eco-Tourism destination in South Asia.
Their culture, tradition and way of life are completely different
from other parts of India. Ironically, its profusion of natural
wealth and its different people have not attracted as many
tourists as it should have. The reason for this is that not much
is identified about the region. The interiors of the region
remains largely unexplored by a large number of tourists. However,
gradually, this is changing and people from both India and abroad
are sitting up and taking notice of this land which, distinctly
can be defined as the favorite of Mother Nature.

Darjeeling
Darjeeling
in the eastern state of West Bengal offers the cool height of the
Himalayas. The nature is at its best. The amazing sunrise and
sunsets are remarkable sights at Darjeeling India. The hill
resort has attracted botanists, ornithologists, trekkers,
photographers and holidaymakers alike. Darjeeling is famous for
the magnificent mountains of Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu.
This heavenly retreat is bathed in hues of every shade. The
flaming red rhododendrons, the sparkling white magnolias, the
miles of undulating hillsides covered with emerald green tea
bushes, the exotic forests of silver fir - all under the blanket
of a brilliant azure sky dappled with specks of clouds,
compellingly confounds Darjeeling as the Queen of Hill
Stations.
