The town of Bhalukpong turns more alluring with the Kameng River flowing between the forests surrounding the area. The adventure seeker within you will get the right base to have an exhilarating experience of hiking, camping, trekking and even fishing. Also make sure to visit the Pakhui game sanctuary to witness the exotic birds and wild animals like elephants, tigers, barking deer and some more. Want to explore the beauty of Bhalukpong?

Kaziranga National Park

Ensure you get sight of the one-horned rhinoceros in Kaziranga National Park, a World Heritage Site housing around two-thirds of the total population of the rare species. The vibrant and preserved ecology of the park makes it a preferred holiday destination in North East India. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience pleasant surprises as you go deeper into the thick forests spotting wild buffaloes, sloth bears, elephants, swamp deer, Chinese Pangolins, Leopards, Gibbons, Bengal Foxes, flying squirrels, civets and some other species of wild animals.

Other than the venturous wildlife exploration, you will also encounter fascinating water bodies and thick green forests. You can also opt for jungle safari rides if you are in a large group and the best way is to hop on an elephant which needs to be booked in advance. Get ready for an exciting and enthralling tour into the jungles of Assam.

Nathu La Pass

The literal translation of the amazing mountain pass is “listening ears”. It is one of the most beautiful places in North East India one must visit while exploring the paradise of India. While you trek to the high altitude mountain pass, you will come across some stunning lakes and amazing views that will remain etched in your memory for long.

The best time to explore the echoing pass is during the summers as in winters the temperature falls down to -25 degrees. Remember to take baby steps to avoid the hostile environment due to low oxygen levels up there.

Majuli Islands

Majuli Islands is a fresh river island in the Brahmaputra river, only 20 kilometers away from Jorhat city in Assam. You might not be aware but it is known as one of the largest river islands of the world once stretched to an area of 1250 square kilometers. However, erosion has led it to fall down to an area of 420 square kilometers today.  Being one of the most peaceful places, Majuli is giving tough competition to save a place among the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites.

You can get a great experience of watching the colorful migratory birds. Mingle with the locals and feel their culture as you know more about it – their mask making and pottery skills are only a few to name. Do ensure you explore the beauty of Majuli before it vanishes from the map!

Pelling

Planning for a family holiday to one of the most appealing places to visit in North East India? Do not miss to add Pelling to your list. Situated in Sikkim, Pelling unfurls the spectacular view of the snow-clad mountains like Frey, Rathong, Kabru North and not to forget the gigantic Kanchenjunga. Explore some fabulous places in Pelling, one of which is Sing shore Suspension Bridge, the highest gorge bridge in Sikkim and second highest in Asia.

If you want to calm your mind and soul, go for a short walk to Rabdengtse Ruins and Pemayangtse Monastery, Sikkim’s oldest monastery. Move to a recluse at the sacred lake Sewaro Rock Garden and Khechropalri.

North East India is the part of our country that envelopes a number of tourist attractions, still to gain large-scale popularity. These lesser-known but spellbinding destinations are the best places to explore in North East India.

Top 5 Reasons Why a Second Citizenship to a Caribbean Country is an Advantage

Published

Quotes about pursuing the life that you want are many – especially when you check out social media sites like Instagram and Pinterest. There’s a constant barrage of encouraging words to live the life that you have always dreamed of because time here on Earth is fleeting.

Indeed, you only get one life, so, make it as fulfilling as you can.

There are a number of ways you can do that and one of them is by living in a different country. Being in a country of your choice provides a new set of opportunities and you can discover more of the wonderful things life truly has to offer while there.

Typically, moving overseas means abandoning your country of origin, but this is no longer the case; at least, not always. If you are from a country that allows for dual citizenship, you can enjoy the best of two worlds. You can split your life between two nations, and manage this strategically to serve your advantage.

And when it comes to countries where you can get a second citizenship, among the best options are Caribbean nations such as Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, and St. Kitts. and Nevis. These Caribbean nations offer a more laid-back lifestyle ideal for families and retirees. Likewise, for business-minded folks, second citizenship to any of these nations offers various opportunities for wealth growth.

5 Things to Love About Living in the Caribbean

Apart from the “chill” lifestyle and the fresh opportunities to generate income, living in the Caribbean offers a set of other advantages.

1. More friends

A lot of expats in the Caribbean can attest to the social advantages of island living. Everybody knows and cares for everybody else. Simple morning greetings exchanged with neighbours can easily lead to hours of delightful conversation culminating in an enriching lunch meal in their home or yours.

The Caribbean is perfect for people who seek solace in nature but also delight in the warm company of their friends. The easy friendship you can strike with the locals can bring more joy to your life.

2. Better health

Studies reveal that frequent exposure to sunshine can do wonders for your health. It can help regulate sleeping patterns and stimulate the release of immunity-boosting hormones.

Likewise, the more humid weather can aid the body’s natural detoxification process. You will sweat more and this means that a lot of toxins that aggravate health woes such as joint pains and respiratory sensitivity will be dispelled from the body.

Lastly, the happiness you can derive from living in a tropical paradise and having more social connections can increase your body’s natural painkillers and health boosters — endorphins and serotonin.

3. Good quality health care

You do not have to worry so much about getting primary health care in the Caribbean if you are considered a citizen. Plus, you can also take advantage of special provisions such as free or discounted treatments and routine checkups, especially if you are a retiree, or you hold a professional position in a well-established company based in the country.

4. Generally safer environment

In Antigua, for example, the crime rate is low. This may be in stark contrast to the situation in the country where you are originally from. Here, you can worry less about your personal (as well as your family’s) safety and your investments. You can have more self-satisfying pursuits because you do not feel threatened. You can have more hobbies and even start a new business.

5. Colourful festivities

The Caribbean region has always been known for its many festivals that are people-driven instead of money-driven. Not a huge amount of money is spent on celebrations unlike in the UK and the US. The festivals are mostly about the people and the islands.

That is one of the chief reasons why thousands of tourists troop here every year to partake in the frivolity. They know that the event is all about having fun with each other. Therefore, there’s nothing intimidating about it.

Living in a country where such grand celebrations are a part of the culture encourages many to “be involved,” which can have a major positive impact on how they approach and value life and community.

How to Get a Second Citizenship in a Caribbean Nation?

So, is living in a sunshine paradise with congenial locals the good life you have always wanted?

You can turn this dream into a reality by applying for a second citizenship by investment. There are specialist firms to aid you in the process. Seek their expertise.

In no time, you can gain the right of calling the Caribbean nation of your choice your own home sweet home.
