Arunachal Pradesh is your best bet in Northeast India to experience nature’s virgin beauty. Let the stunning pictures speak for themselves.
Snuggled away in the northwestern corner of Arunachal Pradesh, Tawang Valley is fringed with magnificent peaks, Buddhist gompas, wild streams, and verdant greenery. Patiently waiting at the end of a long spectacular route up from the Brahmaputra plains, getting to this virgin land is an adventure in itself.
Clockwise from left: The route to Bum La Pass is carpeted with pink and red rhododendrons, and is a sight to behold; River Kameng weaves through the picturesque township of Tawang; the sky turns into a riot of colours as the sun sets behind the eastern Himalayan mountains.
Several streams and nameless azure lakes with towering mountains in the backdrop dot the route from Tawang to Bum La Pass.
Clockwise from left: Reared by the Brokpa community, Arunachali yaks are characterised by high fat content in their milk; the mystical Sangester Tso was formed by a flash flood after an earthquake in 1950; the agricultural farmlands near the India-Bhutan border in Tawang.
