Amazing Arunachal

Arunachal Pradesh –said to be the land of mystical bliss. 

Being a traveller I got to see many wonders and attractions, the wavering rivers, the snow clad mountains, the stubborn plains, exclusive flora and fauna& the legendary cultural heritage. After travelling about 56 Kms from Tezpur, Assam & 213m above  reached ‘Bhalukpung’ a well-known picnic spot is the entry point to Arunachal. A historical fort of 10th-12th Century AD is situated in the foothills of the region. The stone remains of the fort can be seen & the mighty river Kameng after completing all turbulent courses enters Bhalukpong provides rare opportunity of adventure tourism and added beauty to the beautiful picnic spot.

Afterwards, travelling about 5 Kms from Bhalukpong is a botanical paradise of the state. “TIPI” home to about various species of orchids. Some of them are rare and endangered species. There is an orchid museum too. One can watch various snow clad mountain peaks from Bomdila, about 109 km from Bhalukpung including a bird’s eye view of Kangto and Gorichen Peaks, the highest peak of the state. Crossed  “Dirang” the place of  Hot water springs where people take bath for curing skin ailments, Apple and Kiwi orchards and Sangti Valley where Siberian black necked storks visit during winter are the places worth visiting. On the way to Twang, Sela Pass is the world’s second highest motor able pass at 14000 ft with a high altitude serene crystal blue water natural lake. The natural beauty of the surrounding landscape is a dream come true feeling.
After a long travel of about 183 Kms from Bomdila & 3500 m above msl we reached Tawang , the perfect destination with natural beauty and solitude of Gudpi and Chong-Chugmi ranges and Tawang chu River and Valley. The main attraction here is the famous Tawang Monastery of the Gelukpa founded by Mera Lama Lodre Gyaltso during the 17th century, and a contemporary of the 5th Dalai Lama, the second largest Monastery in Asia and the largest one of its kind in the country which controls 17 Gompas in the region. The most imposing part of the Monastery is the three storied assembly hall which houses the temple and the 28 ft high Golden statue of Buddha. Surrounded by beautiful natural Lakes, like the Sangetsar Lake with splendid natural beauty of the surroundings. It is home to snow pigeons and musk deers. PTso Lake is surrounded by a picturesque landscape.Other nice places to see in and around Twang are the War Memorial, Craft Centre and local markets.

Than time to visit, “Itanagar” the capital itself is a heritage of rich archaeological sites of great historical value and built up resources and institutions of great socio-cultural significance. The main attraction of the city is the itafort, ‘the fort of bricks’ from which the State capital derives its name, is situated in the heart of the capital complex. The fort has an irregular shape, built mainly with bricks dating back to the 14th-15th Century. Gekar Sinyi (Ganga Lake) is a beautiful natural lake locally known as Gekar Sinyi (Confinedwater) surrounded by landmass of hard rock. Jawaharlal Nehru Museum has a rich collection of textiles, weaponry, household articles and handicrafts items reflecting the tribal culture and heritage of Arunachal Pradesh.Craft Centre & Emporium at Itanagar is worth visiting where one can see and buy local artefacts like Wall painting, traditional costumes made of natural vegetable and herbal dye yarns, and attractive utility items made of cane and bamboo.Zoological Park (Zoo) at Chimpu houses a variety of fauna including avi-faunal species.


Another destination last but not the least of this amazing tour: ‘Ziro’ about 167Km from Itanagar  is a beautiful plateau and headquarter of Lower Subansiri District bounded on all sides by picturesque hills situated at an altitude of 5000 ft. The place has an imposing landscape of beautiful lush green forest, rivulets and elevated patches. Talley Valley (30 Kms from Hapoli old Ziro) is a rich habitat of many unique and endangered plants and wildlife. It is home to highly endangered species like clouded leopard.
 So we ended up at zero, yet more left to explore in the land of amazing  beauty Arunachal…it was a very refreshing and ever memorable visit after a long time.
