Title: NC Hills
Description: A wondrous land of ethereal beauty that has remained insulated from the ravages of progress, awaits the taveller ready to branch off from the beaten track and turn to the north-east of India. He will find in the North Cachar Hills District off Assam the stuff that dreams are made of and an ambiance of nature in all its unspoilt glory that few places in the world can boast of.
From its rolling hills and valleys to the emerald paddy fields and bamboo forests, from the meandering streams and waterfalls to the quaint little houses perched on hill-tops and villages where the pace of life is guided by no rat race, NC Hills offers an experience beyond the imagination of most travelers. The bounties of nature are matched by the gracious life-style of the people.
Through superb photographs shot by one of the gifted wielders of the camera and word pictures crafted lovingly, the book unfolds all the delights of paradise. Dushyant Parasher’s broad canvas captures the flora and fauna of the land which holds a special fascination for bird lovers in Jatinga village where the disorientation of birds at a particular time of the year remains one of the unexplained mysteries of avian behaviour.
