Arunachal Pradesh Tourism | The India Tourism
Arunachal
finds mention in the literature of Kalika Purana and Mahabharata. This place is
supposed to be the Prabhu Mountains of the Puranas. It was here that sage
Parashuram washed away his sin, sage Vyasa meditated, King Bhishmaka founded
his kingdom and Lord Krishna married his consort Rukmini.
The
widely scattered archeological remains at different places in Arunachal bears
testimony to its rich cultural heritage. Arunachal Pradesh, a serene land
tucked into the North Eastern tip of India, invites you to relax in its
picturesque hills and valleys, enjoy its salubrious climate and meet its simple
and hospitable people, with their glorious heritage of arts and crafts and
colourful festivals that reflect their ancient faith in the inexorable power of
nature.
The
visitor has a wide variety of options to pick from. There are places of worship
and pilgrimage such as Parasuram Kund and 400 years old Tawang Monastery, or
the sites of archeological excavations like Malinithan and Itanagar, the serene
beauty of lakes such as Ganga lake or Sela lake or the numerous variations of
scenic beauty of the snowclad silver mountain peaks and lush green meadows
where thousands of species of flora and fauna prosper. In addition, the state
provides abundant scope for angling, boating, rafting, trekking and hiking.
Besides, there are a number of wild life sanctuaries and national parks where
rare animals, birds and plants will fascinate the visitor.
Nature
has provided the people with a deep sense of beauty which finds delightful
expression in their songs, dances and crafts. The climate varies from hot and
humid to heavy rainfall in the Shivalik range. It becomes progressively cold as
one moves northwards to higher altitudes. Trees of great size, plentiful
climbers and abundance of cane and bamboo make Arunachal evergreen.
Arunachal Pradesh is considered to be the nature's treasure trove and home to orchids,
known for their exquisitely beautiful blooms, from one of the dominant taxa
with more than six hundred species, occurring in varying elevations and
climatic conditions throughout the state. Website of Department of Tourism
