The remote protruded arm of northeast India contains several states centering on Assam, the state straddling the Brahmaputra River. Assam lies in the foothills of the Himalayas not far from China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Bhutan.
While it has long been culturally disconnected from the rest of India, Assam contains many wild areas as well as tea plantations like its neighbor Darjeeling.
Dehing Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary holds the last remaining pristine rainforest in Assam. Leopards, tigers, and King Cobras are some of the many wild animals that can be found there.
