   The North Eastern Region (NER) of India, including the State of Sikkim, is a reservoir of rich natural resources & biodiversity and an amalgamation of different tribes and cultures. It is still a largely unexplored region having many tourism attractions in the form of wild life sanctuaries, adventure tourism assets, diverse cultural heritage, multifaceted fairs & festivals, world famous Buddhist Monasteries, etc. It, therefore, has great potential for both domestic and international tourism.
