MUMBAI: Infotainment broadcaster Discovery is set to take its viewers on a road trip to discover the vigorous beauty of India’s seven north-eastern states in its new series #GONORTHEAST, airing every Saturday at 10 pm.
The journey to the Northern region also covers the Himalayan state, Sikkim, and the crown of India, Jammu & Kashmir. The nine-part series #GONORTHEAST explores places, customs, diverse landscape and the multitude of life that live here.
In each episode, TV actors Varun Mitra and Aalekh Kapoor take a stop-over to meet some of the most charismatic characters, relish authentic cuisines, experience myriad cultures and indulge in raw adventures that these lands have to offer.
The exploration begins from Assam, the land brimming with colours, mystique and flavours. Presenter Varun Mitra visits the ancient Kamakhya Temple, goes tiger spotting at Manas National Park, and experiences authentic Assamese cuisine with master chef Atul Lakhar. He halts at Sualkuchi, also known as the Manchester of Assam, to find about indigenous material used for the production of some of the finest silks in the country, and ends his journey with a simmering tea tasting session.
Varun’s next destination is Meghalaya, an abode of the clouds, because of the highest amount of rainfall it receives. Varun drives through the hills of East Khasi district to marvel at the natural beauty of a small village Mawlynnong, which has earned the reputation of ‘Asia’s Cleanest Village’. Further in his journey, he jams to the catchy beats of the famous Shillong Chamber Choir; travels deep in the dense tropical forests to see Living Root Bridges, the astonishing man-made natural wonders grown from the roots of ancient rubber trees; relishes authentic Khasi cuisine; and enjoys the hypnotic Wangala dance.
