Arunachal Pradesh shares borderlines with China (Tibet) in the north, Myanmar (Burma) in the east, Bhutan in the west and the states of Nagaland and Assam in the south. Its fertile lands are watered by 5 major rivers, primary among them being the river Siang, the mighty Brahmaputra of Assam. Largest of all the North-eastern states (83,743 sq. kms.) Arunachal is blessed by a delightfully variegated climate- perfect for holidays any time of the year.
Imagine a land that is as picturesque and pristine as one can imagine - large parts covered with lush evergreen forests, spectacular valleys dominated by snow-clad mountains through which labyrinthine streams and gurgling rivers meander, trying to escape but going nowhere. You bend to pick up an exotic flower you have never seen before, and your thirst for a rendezvous with life diffuses away with the euphoric tunes of a guitar, a melody that steps candidly to your heart. The land is no other than the angelic Arunachal Pradesh tucked away in the fairytale valleys of Northeast. Flanked on three sides by China, Myanmar and Bhutan, Arunachal is India’s most far-flung state. The state is a home to many tribes dwelling amidst its virgin, untouched-by-modernity environs, still nurturing their ancient culture and customs. Do you need anymore reasons to visit this wild and exotic region of India? Come and experience the grandeur of its majestic mountains, taste adventure in its roaring rivers and mingle with the fascinating tribes that call it home....
If you are coming by air, disembark at Tezpur in Assam, which houses the nearest airport, 225 km from Itanagar. Regular helicopter services are operated by Arunachal Pradesh Helicopter Services (APHS) between Guwahati and Naharlagun, every Mon, Tue, Wed and Sun. Helicopter services have also been introduced which connects numerous tourist destinations in and near Arunachal.
Where there is a will, there is a way. And where there is a hill, adventure is sure to follow. Arunachal, especially the region between Bomdila and Tawang, is a paradise for trekkers and mountaineers. The region is trimmed with magnificent passes and peaks, gurgling rivers and waterfalls, hot springs and picturesque lakes, that surely refreshes every weary soul. One can also spends days, sitting by the shimmering rivulets rich in ‘mahseer’, an extra-ordinary angling to be performed. River rafting on the Siang amidst river dolphins and a medley of water birds can also be an uplifting experience. The tourism department is taking initiatives in establishing an Aerosports Institute in Arunachal, that will entertain tourists with para- and hang- gliding, ballooning, microlight flying etc., all under one roof.

Tucked away in the north-western corner of India, Arunachal Pradesh has borders with Bhutan, Tibet and Myanmar. The name means ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. It has great scenic beauty with snow clad mountains, streams and rivers, forests of different types, terraced cultivation, herds of yak and mountain sheep.
About 40% of the 1.1 million population (2001 census) are Buddhists. The ‘Tibetan’ Buddhists belong to the Mahayana sect which follows lamaistic traditions. Those living in the eastern part of the state, believed to have originally migrated from Myanmar and Thailand belong to the Hinayana sect.
The pagodas and Buddhist monasteries of Arunachal are great tourist attractions. Pagodas locally called ‘Gompas’ are places of veneration, or temples. The basic style of the pagodas comes from Indian stupas (like the ones shown in the photograph on the left of Rajiv Gandhi Memorial at Sriperambadur, TN, India). But the design has been adapted to suit different geographical locations and cultures.
They are truly beautiful structures. Some photographs of pagodas in Arunachal Pradesh are given below.
