Footprint: Northeast India

• Description

Northeast India is a region off the usual tourist route, yet it contains some of the country's most beautiful scenery, remarkable religious monuments and vibrant cultural centres. Footprint's new guide, the first of its kind to this little-known part of the sub-continent, takes you to the Orissan temples of Puri, Bhubaneswar and Konark, the interior of Bihar and Jharkhand, where some tribal societies are only just being brought into contact with the modern world, and the mighty peaks of the Himalaya to the north, with Kangchendzonga towering over Sikkim and the northern hill stations of West Bengal.
