East India

This isn’t the most touristy part of the country, nor the easiest to travel in, and it doesn’t even have the best reputation for safety. Nevertheless, East India offers a chance to discover another side of the country, off the beaten track—especially when you venture into the small northeastern states bordering Myanmar. Expect stunning Himalayan landscapes, trekking opportunities (particularly in Sikkim), several national parks and nature reserves, and unique local cultures and traditions in certain states (like Nagaland) that you won’t find anywhere else.
