Feature - National Himalayan Trekking Expedition 2010

Situated in the eastern nook of India, surrounded by China, Bhutan and Myanmar on its three sides, Arunachal Pradesh is a land of rugged grandeur whose snowy peaks like Kangto (7090 mts), Nyegi Kangsang (7050 mts), Gorichen (6488 mts), Chomo (6000 mts), etc are gorged through roaring rivers and swift streams. It offers a breath-taking spectacle of Nature's glory in a wild profusion of flora, fauna and people abounding in a variety of tribal customs, culture, language and dress. Endowed with unsurpassed beauty. Arunachal Pradesh was, until recently, the hidden frontier, existing in splendid isolation. The magnificent landscape in its un spoilt glory is now accessible and open to tourists, travelers and adventure lovers.
