Travel to Seven Sister States

What are your future travel plans?

I love to travel and explore new places, new people and different cultures. Being a wildlife photographer, I have been travelling a lot across India especially to the tiger reserves and other wildlife reserves.

But still my bucket list is full with many places to visit. And the top name currently is North East states of India. I haven’t explored these places yet.

Northeast India is a haven for birding, boasting diverse ecosystems and a wide array of bird species. Some of the most popular and productive birding spots include Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Namdapha National Park, and Kaziranga National Park, each offering unique habitats and species.
