Relatively unexplored, the Northeast India is a land of gripping scenic beauty formed of undulating hills and plains, cascading waterfalls and meandering streams with luxuriant green cover and a wide variety or rare and exotic flora and fauna.

The Indian high commissioner to Seychelles, Dr Ausaf Sayeed, added that a lot of regions in India are highly unexplored.
