 Welcome
to Pasighat, the oldest town of Arunachal Pradesh established in 1911.
And presently the headquarter of the east Siang district. The British
government had appointed a political officer to view to help the natives
of the area to comedown to the plains of Assam for trade and commerce.
Pasighat has been often called the 'gateway of the state of Arunachal
Pradesh'. The town derives its name from the 'Pasis', a tribe of the
area.
Pasighat town is situated at a height of 155 m., from the sea level and
has a population of nearly 78,000 people. The climate is hot and humid
in summers and temperate during winters.
Nature At Its Best
Pasighat and its
surrounding areas abound in natural beauty and the place has rightly
been called as a photographers delight: it is a land to have a
rendezvous with Mother Nature in her purest form. Far away from the
maddening crowd, the place has the potential to provide solace to the
tired and tense people from the outside world. The mighty Brahmaputra
River , called the "Siang" here transcends down from Tibet and
gives its name to the district. It flows through the entire length of
the area until it descends down into the plains of Assam south of
Pasighat town, where it meets Dihang and Lohit and becomes the
Brahmaputra .
The magic of the land can
only be felt when one arrives here. And, on one's return from the place,
the heart is filled with joy, the mind is freshened and the soul is
elevated to new heights of bliss; the memory always haunts and the
temptation to visit Pasighat always prompts one to come here again and
again.
