 East and North East India is a land of contrasts dominated by Kolkata. The chaotic city brings a buzz and vivacity to the region, where shades of the Raj linger amid modern developments and shanty towns: lending an air of faded gentility to the growing metropolis. Close by the silent Sunderbans are home to secretive Bengal Tigers.
High in the Himalayas, set amid mountains covered in lush green forest and sparkling dancing rivers, is the delightful Hill Station of Darjeeling. Higher still the ancient Kingdom of Sikkim is slowly opening its doors to the world, revealing a rich and fascinating culture.
The far North-East of India is the land of mountains, valleys and rivers. Tribal people still retain their inheritance, living a traditional life and are at one with their surrounding.
Whilst, closer to the heartland of India, in Orissa, the glorious Temples in Puri, Bhubaneswar, Konark and Bihar pay homage to the Gods with their magnificence.
