Arunachal Pradesh 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 piligrimage such as Parasuramkund 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.
