Flora & Fauna
Owing to a very sparse population and an underdeveloped infrastructure, much of the wilderness in Arunachal Pradesh is in pristine condition, making it an ideal habitat for an abundance of creatures and plant life. It is home to an enormous variety of orchids - five hundred of the thousand different types that exist in India - many unique to this state. Elephants, tigers, jungle cats, leopards and white Gibbons can also be found in Arunachal Pradesh. There are several types of birds that are also indigenous to the area including the Great Indian Hornbill and the Wood Duck.

Assam has a huge range of biodiversity supported by a number of tropical rain forests, bamboo forests, riverine grasslands and wetland eco-systems. Kaziranga and Manas National Parks are both World Heritage sites and home to a great variety of wildlife including two thirds of the World's population of unicorn Rhino. Tigers, Gibbons and several extremely rare species are also found in Assam. You might even be lucky enough to spot a blind Gangetic dolphin in the Brahmaputra with January typically the best time to see them.

Meghalaya is home to about 300 varieties of orchid, the insect eating Pitcher plant and a whole host of other botanical specimens.
