The Absolute India

East

The dawn breaks first over the Eastern Himalaya in India’s rugged Northeast. This is perhaps the country’s least explored and most enchanting region, where alpine meadows meet mountaintop monasteries. Straddling Sikkim’s border with Nepal is the snow-clad Kanchenjunga, India’s highest mountain peak. The plains are just as enthralling, where rhinos roam in grasslands and swimming tigers inhabit a vast mangrove forest.
