A session in Arunachal Pradesh would be spent admiring the jaw-dropping landscapes, the charming weather, and the bliss of being close to nature.
Arunachal Pradesh is located in the far North-Eastern part of India, and the state’s landscapes are also referred to as the Land of the Rising Sun. Quite evidently justifying the appellation, snow-capped peaks appearing golden are as otherworldly as Japan’s view of Mount Fuji in the early morning.

Because of the diverse variety of flora and fauna, Arunachal Pradesh is a real paradise for nature lovers, offering a taste of India’s pristine and variegated natural beauty, not to overlook the genuine tribal hospitality that you are bound to experience.
It is one of the few Indian states that are home to a massive count of ethnic tribes. Their way of living, language, food, and other customs vary significantly from one another. The historic state of Arunachal Pradesh was and remains one of the most eloquent tourist destinations, serving as a treasure trove of otherwise incisive evidence. History speaks of many of the now-eroded, ruined, or partially existent garrisons, citadels, and royal domains that are picturesque and scenic. Moreover, today’s structures stand in blatant opposition to the priceless antiques that have been the epicentres of royal existence back then. Serving as the gateway to the Northeast, the state capital of Arunachal Pradesh, Itanagar, represents a vivid and torrid balance of modern peace teamed up with a perfect showcase of history and culture.
Arunachal Pradesh is an eastern mountainous state in India. Its territory contains deep valleys and is surrounded by mountain ranges on all sides. The state is home to the gorges of Brahmaputra and the Siang, Lohit, Dibang, and Subansiri rivers. The elevations of the snowy mountain ranges, deep valleys, and low mountain ranges in the area range from 220 meters to 6,887 meters above sea level. The mountain ranges comprise three parts: the Assam mountain ranges at high altitudes, the Bhutan mountain ranges at medium altitudes, and the eastern part of the Himalayas. 60.94 percent of the area is covered by the subtropical forest. During the winter, the area has coniferous, broadleaved, and mixed cool forests that grow in low-lying areas. The elevations of the areas with different types of greenery in Arunachal Pradesh may be grouped into three types: Valley Plains: 250–600 meters, Subtropical Area: 600-1,500 meters, Warm Forest Area in the Sub-Alpine: 1,500-3,500 meters. Arunachal Pradesh is thus geographically diversified.
Arunachal Pradesh’s climate in the higher latitudes as well as in the plains and valleys is an essential feature of the state. The winter, the pre-monsoon, the monsoon, and the post-monsoon are the four main seasons in the region. The state’s climate is subtropical up to elevations of 1,200 meters. This area may be defined as a blend of the scorching heat of the Assam valley and the cold wind of the hills. Medium altitude weather ranges from 1,200 to 1,800 meters, while an alpine climate area extends from 1,800 to 4,600 meters. Additionally, the temperatures in the region vary depending on the time of year and atmospheric conditions, necessary knowledge for planning a visit around the weather. The following is the common temperature distribution with weather variations in different seasons.
Arunachal Pradesh is a place of diverse ethnic communities. These tribes help in shaping the vibe and aura of the state. Even the smallest village has its own characteristics and way of living that no one ever saw. Their sonorous way of their innumerable festivals, rituals, and art forms is worth practicing and emulating. The varied varieties of apparel, music, canoes, the way of dancing, cultivation forms, houses and decoration, bridal attire, headgear, and ornaments; tobacco boxes, deities, animal sacrifices, and celebrations of these rituals underscore and revive one’s understanding of their living style.
For the Apatanis, their villages are a way of living. Every single house of these villagers tells a story of Apatani belief, customs, traditions, practices, and of course, their daily life. Warmth is the essence of Apatani life that upholds the practices of familial values and ensures cordiality in human interaction. We encourage all our guests to visit these two fascinating tribes to capture the lifestyles of the people and also practice their distinct culture, customs, and traditions.
The traditions and culture of Indian tribal are so unique. They have tied themselves to the customs very firmly, which sculpt their lives. Anyone from outside India can swiftly study and understand their particular tribe, region, and life. These age-old customs and traditions continue to play a key role in the lives of the present tribes. It is deep-rooted – for everything, there is a prayer, a festival, and singers and dancers. It has been the strength of the community. Honey hunting has not become a thing of the past as yet. The people of these tribes lead a militant existence and have fought for their independence and social system for a worthwhile expression through war songs and head-hunting trophies. A trip to view the traditions and practices of these tribes and their interaction with the non-Arunachal is a worthwhile experience.

For a real taste of local flavor, it’s best to try out the authentic Monpa cuisine. You must definitely look to try some ethnic meat preparations, like Thukpa, momos, Gegu, Khura, etc. during your stay. Try delicacies with a spoonful of zan or smoked cheese; they never disappoint. Because of the strong Himalayan cultural influence, dining options are limited.

Bomdila is not a posh place to eat, but there are a few local diners where you can get all sorts of dishes, predominantly Tibetan and Indian. Bomdila can get a bit chilly for some, so a visit here is best in the summer season when the temperatures are comfortable. It would still be rainy, however, so if that doesn’t deter you, it could make for the best visit. But generally, March through October is the best time to travel to Bomdila.
