Arunachal Pradesh Attractions

Arunachal Pradesh is a mountainous state, sparsely populated, with only a few areas open to tourists. The state of Arunachal is divided into five river valleys: the Kameng, the Subansiri, the Siang, the Lohit and the Tirap.

The array of flora and fauna makes Arunchal a highlight for tourists, especially the more than 500 rare species of Orchids. The rugged terrain of Arunchal is perfect for trekking and hiking, while the rivers are ideal for rafting and angling.

The climate of Arunachal Pradesh varies with the altitude. The southern part of the state is hot and humid - a sub-tropical climate, the central portion is cooler and there is an alpine climate in the higher altitudes. The best times to visit are mid September to mid December and from mid March to mid June when the weather is more bearable.
