Arunachal Pradesh borders with Bhutan, China and Burma and is a mountainous, remote and predominantly tribal area. The old 'Stillwell Road' used to run from Ledo in the south of Arunachal Pradesh to Myitkyinya in the north-east of Burma.

Also known as `Land of the Dawn-lit-Mountains' this is the first Indian soil to greet the morning sun. In addition to the forests, the rich handicrafts add to the ethereal beauty of majestic Arunachal Pradesh. Highly artistic carpets, shawls, gales and jackets are the high-quality fruit of its looms.
