ARUNACHAL PRADESH

ARUNACHAL PRADESH

INTRODUCTION

A river of gold flows through this exotic land of dawn-lit mountains and that's only the beginning of the story. Mysterious, powerful and beautiful, with faces and moods that change dramatically ever so often, rivers with distinctive individualities form the colorful lifelines of Arunachal Pradesh-the land kissed by the first rays of the sun. Arunachal Pradesh, earlier known as Northeast Frontier Agency, and largest of the seven sisters of North East India, shares international boundaries with Bhutan, Tibet, China and Myanmar and state boundaries with Assam and Nagaland. LOCATION

Arunachal Pradesh stretches on the Northeast frontier of India from the foothills of the eastern Himalayas to their peaks. The state extends latitudes 26.42°N-29.30°N and longitudes 90.36°E- 97.30°E. One of the landlocked states of India, Arunachal Pradesh shares its border in the east with Myanmar, Bhutan in the west, China in the north, and Assam in the south.c
