Arunachal Pradesh
Arunachal Pradesh, literally, means the land kissed by the sun. Gracing the easternmost borders of India, this heavenly state embodies all the goodness there can be in a state that could be remote to many other.
But that remoteness should not stop anyone from visiting Arunachal Pradesh. After all, why would anyone not want to see the magnificent monasteries of Tawang? Or miss out on the pristine wilderness of Mechuka or even not go wildlife spotting in the deep jungles of Namdapha? And ever wondered where in India the sun’s rays first kissed? Well, head out to Dong, a village you would catch on that fascinating road trip from stunning Parasuram Kund all the way up to India’s last villages on the eastern front – Kaho and Kibithu. You could even spot a Chinese settlement amongst the lofty Himalayan peaks.
