Arunachal Pradesh
Nestled in the far northeast of India, Arunachal Pradesh lies at the crossroads of Bhutan, Burma, and Tibet. India’s newest and least-explored state, it was part of the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) until its elevation to statehood in 1986. This region remained largely isolated, with limited British-era exploration by administrators and anthropologists. Even Indian citizens were barred entry until tourism laws relaxed in 1995. Populated by Mongoloid and Mon-Khmer ethnic groups, distinct from the Aryan-Dravidian mainstream, the area practices animism, except for Buddhist Tawang. Headhunting persisted in the Highlands into the 1950s, with some tribes still adapting to modernity.
Its colorful festivals like the Torgey cham dance in Tawang, Myko and Bori Boot in Ziro and Mopin in Along are great social events.
