While the thought of travelling to foreign locations for Christmas vacation is always intriguing, India has some of the most stunning places that remain unexplored. One of the least explored regions is Northeast India, which consists of formidable terrain comprising forests, hot springs, plateaus, valleys, lakes, waterfalls, and more.
