Arunachal Pradesh's Unique Tourism with kiwi picking in Ziro India's first sunrise at Dong adventure tours music festivals and rich Monpa Traditions in Tawang

For all those yearning to see serenity and beauty in nature, Arunachal Pradesh affords a great opportunity to watch India's first sunrise at Dong, which in turn happens to be the easternmost place across the country. Chief Minister Khandu has himself sent invitations to tourists to experience the magical hues of dawn in this village. Dong has soon become an inevitable visiting spot for early birds and nature lovers as it offers the unique opportunity of beginning the day as India wakes up.

One of the attractions offered by the new tourism policy is the 'Kiwi Owning and Kiwi Fruit Picking Experience' at Ziro, in the Lower Subansiri region. Visitors can take direct part in local agriculture by farming kiwis. It gets even better as tourists can buy a kiwi plant through the Annual Timeshare Programme, thereby promoting sustainable faring and nature attachment. This project not only boosts agriculture but also empowers local farmers as they have much more powerful voices when it comes to sustainable practices.

In addition to its agricultural activities, Arunachal Pradesh is also home to the extravaganza of the Ziro Festival of Music that is an outdoor cultural event that promises to attract many music lovers around the world. This festival, set against the backdrop of the region's breathtaking natural beauty, creates the perfect mixture of music, nature, and culture, adding yet another layer to the state's rich tourism experience.

The government of Arunachal Pradesh, along with the Indian Army, has planned a bicycle tour through the 'Vibrant Villages' of the state. This will be the showcase to highlight the wonderful landscapes and the broad cultural diversity of the state as adventure tourism at this place is very hot.
An innovative blend of adrenaline-high activities which also carries a patriotic sense appeals to both the lovers of thrill and nature alike.

Another excellent initiative is to promote ecotourism in the districts of Monpas, Tawang and West Kameng. Community-based tourism is highly contributing to keeping alive the old traditional society of the Monpa community, which is known for handmade paper and numerous other traditional crafts. This will serve as a source of alternative income for the Monpas besides leaving behind a rich cultural heritage for the next generations.

These adventure, culture, and sustainability-governed initiatives make Arunachal Pradesh a destination like no other, offering experiences that are truly off the beaten path for travelers.
