Charaidew
Prior to 1947 Assam incorporated all north east India but the declaration of independence heralded a new beginning and this large region was broken up into separate states.
The so called 'seven sisters' were off limits to foreign travel for many years and restrictions are still in place for a number of areas, but Assam is open for travellers.
