North East Website

From ancient times, India's North East has been meeting place of many communities, faiths and cultures.

It is a place of magical beauty and bewildering diversity: there are more than 166 separate tribes speaking many languages - they retain their cultural traditions but are beginning to adapt to contemporary lifestyles.
It's jungles are dense, It's rivers powerful and rain storms sweep across the hills and plains during the annual monsoons.
The region has borders with Mynamar, China, Bhutan and Bangladesh & consist of statres - Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. Although, Eastern India is way behind (7% in total) the other regions in terms of both domestic (7%) and International tourist (2%) arrivals (Source - HVs International Research 1998-01) but has the potential for all segments - leisure, adverture, eco, cultural and wildlife.

Yes,

I got the following message :

"Error 403 - Forbidden directory, access denied".

Wonder how the Govt. plans to promote tourism in this region, if they deny access to their site !!!
