Situated right at the eastern edge of India, the North-Eastern region, which is formed of seven states-Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, is the biggest green zone where Nature has showered her blessings in the forms of stunning green landscapes, mountain ranges, valleys, lakes, rivers and wilderness areas. Having an influence of both Hinduism and Buddhism, the vast region attracts huge footfalls of pilgrims and devotees too, in the forms of temples and monasteries.
