Dense forest lined ridges pierce the sky in Arunachal Pradesh where stunning snow capped peaks announce the Chinese border.

Boasting at least 65 different tribal groups it is of no doubt that the cultural diversity of the area is incredibly high.  Arunachal Pradesh is a state that offers high diversity in its culture and landscape and it has some brilliant tourist destinations so it is especially sad that permits remain annoying and expensive enough to deter most potential foreign visitors.

Chinese Border with Arunachal Pradesh

Due to its proximity to the Chinese border Arunachal Pradesh has been a state of discontent for the Chinese who have never formally recognized Indian sovereignty for the state.  It was not until the 1962 invasion by the Chinese that the government in Delhi really took any action.  Delhi then started to fund significant infrastructure for the state.  The Chinese voluntarily withdrew from Arunachal Pradesh, and the atmosphere here is extremely calm since then.
