Although it has not been utilised for an international test match yet, the ground is often used for practice sessions by several famous players.
World’s Highest Golf Course
Northeast India is an intriguing region which has mostly been untouched by tourists. However, over the past few years, the number of holidaymakers visiting its magnificent states has been increasing.
