Ancient Tribes of the Hidden Northeast:
Travel to Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam

Bordering Bhutan, China and Burma, the states of Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh are some of the most remote in India. Mon Village in Nagaland and the state of Arunachal Pradesh have been closed to visitors until about 15 years ago.
Hence, their lush landscape and native cultures have remained virtually untouched allowing their peaceful existence to now be enjoyed by small groups of adventurous travelers.
There are approximately 76 different tribes in this region and 80% of the land is still forested so there is a great deal of the natural beauty of India.
