 Arunachal
Pradesh, a veritable treasure house of nature, tucked
away in the North Eastern tip of India, invites you to
relax in its picturesque bills and dates. The largest
state in India's north-east is encircled from three
sides by Bhutan, China and Myanmar. It stretches from
snow-capped mountains in the north to the plains of the
Brahmaputra valley in the south. The terrain is mostly
mountainous with the Himalayan range along the northern
borders criss- crossed with ranges running north-south.
These divide the state into five river vatteys: the
Kameng, the Subansiri, the Siang, the Lohit and the
Tirap. All the rivers are fed by snow from the Himalayas
and countless rivers and rivulets. The mightiest of
these rivers is Siang, called the Tsangpo in Tibet,
which becomes the Brahmaputra after it is joined by the
Dibang and the lohit in the plains of Assam. Come to
Arunachal Pradesh to revel in nature in its full
splendour. Enjoy the satubrious climate and meet its
simple and hospitable people. Witness the glorious
heritage of arts and crafts in the Land where the first
dawn breaks in India before any other state. For a
tourist the options are varied, each more tempting than
the other. You could for instance :
01. Participate in the colourful festivals that reflect
the ancient faith of several tribes who have been
harmoniously living in the cradle of
nature since time immemorial.
02. Visit places of worship and pilgrimage such as
Parasuramkund and the 400 year-old-Buddhist monastery at
Tawang. Or take a trip to the
sites of archeological excavations like
Matinithan and Itanagar. Or simply gaze at the snow-clad
mountain peaks and lush green meadows
resplendent with thousands of rare species of
flora and fauna.
03. Go angling, boating, rafting, trekking and hiking in
the numerous lakes, rivers, mountains, wildlife
sanctuaries and national parks that dot
the state.
You could pick and choose from four distinct fields of
interests- cultural, adventure, nature and heritage. |
