Northeast India is one of the most beautiful and biodiverse regions in Asia. The seven states, namely Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Sikkim, are blessed with lush forests which are noted for being home to over a dozen venomous snake species. The rainforests, bamboo groves, and mountain forests make for perfect habitats for some of India’s most dangerous and venomous reptiles. As per researchers, Northeast India is home to over 20 species of medically important venomous snakes.
And when it comes to wildlife enthusiasts, and adventure travellers, spotting a snake can really be a thrilling experience. But it is important to know which species live in which forests and how to stay safe.
