Book some dates out of your calendar to visit the virginal North East India in 2016. It is because of the lack of knowledge and a popularity equal to none, that this part of India is less explored, which makes it one magical place to visit. We bring to you the best 7 places to visit in North East India, sooner or later, the choice is yours.
With its lush green stretches and glorious hills and plains with unique flora and fauna, Northeast India becomes the best for nature lovers to treasure its beauty for life.
7Unakoti, Tripura
Tripura’s Unakoti Hills with its rock carvings and waterfalls is the prime location for any visitor to Tripura. You will be mesmerised by the rock carved figures of Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Nandi Bull and Maa Durga standing on the Lion. We highly recommend visiting Unakoti in April when the Ashokastami Mela is held.
6Dzuko Valley, Manipur
Known for its seasonal flowers and a countless variety of flora and fauna, the Dzuko Valley is located on the Manipur-Nagaland Border at 2,438 metres above sea level. With the arrival of June and September, a carpet of colourful wildflowers is laid and the valley becomes a perfect place for nature lovers and trekkers.
5Phawngpui, Mizoram
Phawngpui or the Blue Mountain is the highest peak in the state of Mizoram. The same is famous for Rhododendrons and Orchids. Phawngpui offers its travellers a magical view of hazel blue hills, which is no less than a fairy-tale.
