These states are full of natural beauty,exotic places and wide variety of beautiful wild animals like rhinoceros, elephants and numerous species of birds. North east region consist of seven contiguous states Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. Northeast India is ethnically distinct from the other states of India. Assam is the gateway through which the seven sister states are connected to the mainland. Sikkim, the only brother and some parts of North Bengal is also come under the north east India.

	#Elephant Falls Elephant falls is a combination of 3 rivers. One of the British officers named it as Elephant falls after they saw a rock which resembled as an elephant. This rock was later destroyed due to earthquake. Ka Kshaid Lai Pateng Khohsiew was the name given by the Khasi tribe, meaning Three Steps Water Falls. Around 12kms from the outskirts of the capital city of Meghalaya, Elephant falls is advanced with the public transport for the visitors.
#Shillong peak Shillong peak is considered as the most beautiful scenic place and also a romantic destination for newly weds and couples. Its a picnic spot and most visited.
	#Wards Lake This place is surrounded with the beautiful view of flowers blooming in an array. Situated in the middle of the city is this pleasant lake with boating facility. One can enjoy boating or recess on the grass of the garden nearby and take a break from the busy life schedules.
#Lady Hydari Park The is park is named after the first lady of this place. She was the wife of first governor of Shillong. The park being spread over an area of more than a kilometre consists of a mini-zoo, a deer park and a play area for children. The park blossoms with a variety of of well bloomed roses, orchids and many other varieties of flowers. This park is dressed in Japanese style. This park is now managed by the forest department
	#Nohkalikai Falls Nohkalikai Falls was one of the taller waterfalls in India. It made a dramatic free leap from a fairly well-forested drainage into a rocky base accompanied by a pretty blue pool. While Julie and I noticed that most of the waterfalls in the Cherrapunjee area had really lost their luster outside of the monsoon season, this waterfall seemed to have maintaind its perforance.I suspect that the relatively healthy drainage upstream of the falls was largely due to the moisture-retaining foliage that remained forested and untouched (though this might be threatened based on what we saw, which we’ll get into later). In fact, we even saw a pair of light flowing companion waterfalls making similar dramatic leaps off the escarpment. I’d imagine in wetter times, there could have been many more companion waterfalls flanking the main one.
#Kaziranga National Park A World Heritage Site, the Kaziranga National Park is one of the most, if not the most, visited attractions of Assam. Kaziranga National Park has over 1800 one-horned-rhinoceros roam freely through the dense jungles and vegetation of the park. The Kaziranga National Park was declared as a ‘Tiger Reserve’ in 2006 owing to the high density of tiger population in the park. Other exotic wildlife thriving in the national park includes elephants, water buffalos, and swamp deer. Birdlife International has declared Kaziranga National Park as an ‘Important Bird Area’ for conservation of avifaunal species. You can go for an hour long elephant ride through the rhinoceros populated areas. You can also try a thrilling jeep safari through the dense forests of Kaziranga.
	#Kamakhya Temple Nestled on the top of the beautiful Nilachal Hil, Kamakhya Temple complex consists of about 20 temples – the largest and most visited being the temple of Goddess Kamakhya. The Kamakhya temple is one of the oldest and most sacred of the 51 Shakti Pithas. The temple comprises of four chambers – one garbhagriha and three mandapas. The garbhagriha is believed to contain the yoni of Goddess Sati fallen on the hill following the splitting of the Goddess’ dead body. You can reach the garbhagriha by narrow steep stone steps. The temple complex consists of individual temples dedicated to ten Mahavidyas: Bhuvaneshvari, Bagalamukhi, Chinnamasta, Tripura Sundari, Tara, Kali, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Matangi and Kamal.
