If I tell you there is this tiny, picturesque village in the easternmost part of country, which receives the first rays of the sun and that it is surrounded by snow capped mountains and pine forests and is a haven for people who who are searching for peace, tranquility and beauty all at the same time, would not you wish you were there already? That is exactly why we curated this trip for you. But before we reach Dong valley, wouldn’t it be a great idea to explore more places on the route ? We will drive to Lal pahaar to see the tallest Buddha Statue in the state of Arunachal Pradesh and wait for the day to turn into orange and pink dusk so that we can visit the Golden Pagoda and see the magic it weaves with the light of the setting sun. Situated on the banks of the river Deahing, the majestic Golden Pagoda, built in Thai/Burmese style, is a sight to behold. If you are a spiritual person this is one place you should not miss visiting. If you love beauty and aesthetics this is one place you should not miss visiting. Yes we will also visit Parshuram Kund, the place where sage Parshuram dipped his hands to cleanse his sins and the place became a holy place of worship thereafter. Is it not exciting that we will be visiting Kaho, the last border villages in the Indo-China border in the same trip? So..do not wait, book your trip with us at your soonest.
