Luxury East India Tours

Eastern India is extremely diverse as it includes one of India’s most crowded cities (Kolkata) as well as some of its most remote areas. It is perhaps the area least visited so a good option if you like to get off the tourist routes. The north eastern states are rural and being landlocked and surrounded by the countries of Bangladesh, China, Bhutan, Burma and Nepal there is considerable ethnic and religious diversity - much of the population is tribal. The region is home to some of India’s most endangered wildlife (including the one-horned rhinoceros and Bengal tiger). The tiny state of Sikkim has valleys and terraced rice fields surrounded by mountains including Kanchenjunga the third highest in the world.

North East India stretches from the green lush plains of the Bay of Bengal to the undulating hills and the amazing heights of the Himalayas in the north. Comprising the seven states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura it is known as the Seven Sisters along with the state of  Sikkim. While East India covers five states including West Bengal and the Andaman Islands. The area is less well travelled by tourists but it enjoys a diversity and charm all of its own, which is sure to impress. It has much to offer with a rich cultural heritage, spectacular natural beauty which is home to a wide variety of exotic wildlife and fauna as well as wonderful experiences such as river cruises and jeep safaris to discover.
