From music, heritage, nature and people, the region is blessed with a cornucopia of interesting areas that would even entice the most laidback traveller.

While it’s very much a part of the Indian kitchen that boasts of its spices and curry, Northeast Indian food also shares similar cuisine preferences with neighbouring Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand and China as well. So while you have a fusion of mainland Indian and Southeast Asian food in one, you have completely pristine organic food in another.
