North East

North-East India is one of the country's most remote regions, and it has only recently come to public attention. Previously, the term North-East India was either limited to the state of Assam or as summarised in Geography textbooks as the seven sisters. Although tourists visited the region on occasion, they were mostly restricted to the areas surrounding Guwahati. Tourism has boomed in the region over the last 10-15 years, and many tourists from India and abroad now visit northeastern India.
