Palms, rattan, bamboo and mahogany amongst a host of other evergreen forests hide the quiet gateway to Nagaland.

In the southernmost slice of north eastern India lays Mizoram. Tranquil and evergreen this place just oozes charm.

Dense forest lined ridges pierce the sky in Arunachal Pradesh where stunning snow capped peaks announce the Chinese border.

Boasting at least 65 different tribal groups it is of no doubt that the cultural diversity of the area is incredibly high.  Arunachal Pradesh is a state that offers high diversity in its culture and landscape and it has some brilliant tourist destinations so it is especially sad that permits remain annoying and expensive enough to deter most potential foreign visitors.
