The Seven Sisters and one brother state (Sikkim) together constitute only 8% of the total geographical area of India. This 2.62 lakh square kilometers has so much to offer in terms of its natural beauty, multitude of cultures, indigenous peoples, religions, national parks, mountains, rivers, weather patterns and so much more; a lifetime would not be enough to explore the lengths and breaths of this 8% of Indian subcontinent.

If we were to even begin to create a list of things that make the Northeastern states special, it would turn into an encyclopedia. But we do want to give you enough from our book of interesting facts and highlights from this region on the other side of the Siliguri Corridor to get you to give NER the attention it deserves. These states have as much capacity to invite intrigue for all their traditional, historical and cultural marvels as it does to invite awe for their natural splendor for which they are so aptly known.
