• You may have enough reasons to visit this
  enchanting land referred to as Northeast India
  for reasons may vary from person to person.
• For most, the region offers cultures ranging
  from food, dance, attire as well as the people
  unique in themselves as compared to the rest of
  India.

• The mist-filled hills of the area may reminds us
  of Wales, Scotland or the Nordic areas with
  striking similarities between the former and the
  latter lot, while the eerie and uncanny secrets
  behind the mists tend to remain veiled.
• It may come as a surprise to many that the
  Northeast has an equally rich collection of ghost
  stories as well as tales of black magic and
  witches, just like Great Britain. 
• Being a big region, it will not be possible for
  you to embark on a tour to all of these places.
  However, there are certain locations which will
  interest you. This, I say, from my own personal
  experience.
