North East India
North East India was one of the most amazing experiences I had on my travels through India. As I travelled through each of the Seven Sister States, it felt like I had landed in a different country. A country full of new experiences, people to meet, cultures to learn about and the most jaw-dropping scenery. It can be difficult to plan a trip here so I’ve compiled all of my travel resources to help you plan a magical and safe adventure!
