Arunachal Pradesh, the 'Land of the Dawn-lit
Mountains’, is India’s land of the rising sun. It is the country's
remotest state
and in it, charming tribal, natural unspoilt beauty, rare orchids, exotic animals such as
the Yak and the Mithun, Buddhist monasteries
and the Mayapur ruins compel wonder and
fascinate the nature lover, anthropologist, archaeologist, and the inquisitive
tourist. The state comprises valleys separated by the ridges of the eastern
Himalayas and 80% of the
land is still forested.
