- Invaluable treasure of natural beauty in North Arunachal was in the closed pallet of suspense till the extreme. A tweet has opened the door.

Gathering a handful of wheat and five handfuls of pebbles in a container, after vigorously scattering the mixture on the open floor, go out to weave the grains of wheat out of the pebbles. This is very much the case in social media. Every day on the invisible floor called Facebook and Twitter, millions of people scramble to find interesting information lost in the midst of pebble-like nonsense. But after a long struggle, a sudden 'Eureka!' As soon as it happens, hard work does not go unnoticed.

A few days ago, some unfortunates felt this way on Twitter. It so happened that the Deputy Chief Minister of our northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh tweeted from Toddle on Twitter. He posted on Twitter pictures of the Echo Dumbing Mountains in the Himalayas near the Tibet (China) border in the state's Upper Siang province and the surrounding landscape. The views of the snow-capped peaks as well as the springs flowing in the valley were so breathtaking that nature lovers were enthralled to see them. Over the years, the name of a geographical area that hardly anyone has heard of, Upper Siang has found a place in Jokjota in Lokhaiya and then on the tourist map. Now in the near future, Arunachal's tourism department is going to organize tours of Upper Siang. A single tweet opened a new direction of tourism. This is a wonderful use of social media!

Located at least three thousand kilometers from Gujarat and Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh, despite having many natural as well as cultural features, has been left out of the geographical range of the average tourist. This state is as spectacular as it is spectacular. like,

ચ Arunachal Pradesh is the largest state in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and Mizoram, spread over an area of ​​about 4,000 sq km. About 7% of the geographical area is covered with perennial forests, which contain 5,000 varieties of trees, shrubs and flowering plants. There are at least 500 varieties of medicinal plants and a total of 500 varieties of orchid / orchid / asparagus flowers.

લોકો The people of Arunachal Pradesh are highly skilled in conserving and using its natural resources in a disciplined manner. For example, in the valley called Zero Valley, the people of the Apatani tribe collect rainwater and divert it to the fields. In addition to cultivating paddy in the water of a square farm, he also raises fish. After harvesting both the grains, their pools should be mixed in the field soil so that the need for organic manure increases the fertility of the good soil. Zero Valley has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the ingenuity of the people to get maximum yield in minimum space instead of deforestation for arable land.

■ Arunachal Pradesh is the only place in India with the highest number of (2) tribes and its (100) sub-tribes in the whole of Asia. Altogether 20 languages ​​and dialects are used there everyday ંક and yet the official language of the state is English!

વિના The world's commercial business cannot function without cash, credit cards and digital currencies. But in the village of Thembang in Arunachal, all those currencies were in vain. To date, there is a barter system in place such as 'Take one hand, give the other hand'. Maize and corn kernels are the official currency of Thembang, through which commodities are traded. With a population of a handful of people, human life has been thriving in Thembang for nearly 200 years.

The world has reached the 21st century, but in terms of economic transactions, Thembang is still living in the 18th century. However, the 21st century reformed man who could not (and probably will not learn) is in the nature of the 'antiquated' people of Thembang જ protecting the environment! The residents of Thembang have shown great restraint in the use of natural resources. He himself has declared the forest area around the village a protected zone, from where it is strictly forbidden to cut even a single leaf of a tree.

ચ Arunachal Pradesh is one of the first and largest cities in India. At dawn in the state's long-awaited Dongkhin, the Sun God's ride arrives at the dawn. In Gujarat, the first rays of the sun shine after another two hours, during which the residents of Dong Valley have finished their breakfast and water and are busy with work.

After getting so much background about Arunachal, now let's talk about Upper Siang, the northern province of the state, which has come out in public for the first time after years of anonymity. The 'interior decoration' done by the invisible hands of the architect nature in the Upper Siang district spread over seven thousand square kilometers is really spectacular. The trouble is to reach Upper Siang to see the decorations. Yingqiang, the district headquarters, is about 250 kilometers from the state capital, Itanagar. Getting there by motorway is a challenge in itself, as the paved road network is not yet as rich as it should be.

The inner passages of the Upper Siang are also not smooth. Rather, it is rough and muddy. This is due to the torrential rains that erode paved roads in a short time. The amount of dust-mud-rocks falling from the mountain slopes also causes the appearance of the road. From Itanagar, the government bus takes a private taxi to Yingqiang, leaving just twenty hours away. Physically exhausted to become a corpse, but once you reach Yingqiang, there is no shortage of places to roam in Upper Siang.

A scenic spot is Gilling. Born near Mount Kailash in Tibet, the Tsang Ga-po River, which travels about 1,200 km, is known as Siang and later as the Brahmaputra after entering India. The Indian entrance to the river is at Gilling, the last village on the Indo-Tibetan border in Upper Siang. Siang, which splits into numerous giants here, has fertilized the plains in a vast expanse. Despite being divided into several divisions, large and small, the extent of Siang's watershed can be gauged from the fact that a mega project to build 6 small and large hydroelectric dams is going to be undertaken on the main river as well as Vishakha.

Gilling's Chopas region is adorned with dense forests as shown in the picture here. Going on a trekking trip in the jungle with a local guide creates the feeling of wandering in the Amazon rainforests of South America. The track is home to numerous springs, mountain caves, flowers, birds and more numerous waterfalls. An impressive waterfall falls from a cliff 200 feet high.

The Upper Siang has eye-catching greenery on one side, and the soothing Nagadhiraj Himalayan Echo Dumbintag Range on the other, whose snow-capped peaks adorn the head of the Upper Siang like a crown. The melting of snow on the ridges of high mountains has created 108 lakes like Yonchep, Tsimatapuri, Dempo Tsoo, whose water is as clear as glass if you look at it! The long-wide Echo Dumbinvag mountain range is believed to be the abode of Lord Buddha's Avalokiteshvara form, so the Dalai Lama has likened the Echo Dumbinvag mountain region to a paradise on earth.

Not only religious, but also from the point of view of beauty, the whole region is heavenly. Some time ago, a team of local mountaineers set foot on the 12,000-foot-high icy peak of Echo Dumbin Gani. The pictures taken by the team during the tour were posted on social media by the Deputy Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh on Twitter.

Moling National Park is spread over 3 square kilometers in Upper Siang to enjoy forests and wildlife. It is a natural habitat for tigers, pangolins, red pandas, barking deer, goral type goats, chilotras, monals etc.

Who else knows how many gems of nature are still hidden in Upper Siang. Closed for years, the casket of suspense is still open. Roads and facilities will flourish in the near future, a journey of knowledge at Upper Siang! ■
