Dong - The Secluded Hamlet In Arunachal Pradesh That Sees India’s First Sunrise
Well in India Arunachal Pradesh is known as the land of the rising sun, Dong the tiny hamlet located at an elevation of 1,240 meters and sandwiched neatly in between China and Myanmar is the far east corner of our country India and blessed with the touch of Sunrays. The village that used to exist at Dong has been abandoned primarily due to the scarcity of water. Today, what stands still are the terraced fields of Dong village that have become overgrown with shrubs. But from the top, you can overlook Burma and China across a beautiful, panoramic view of the rivers and meadows underneath. In Dong, the sun, on average, rises at 5.50 am and sets at 4.30 pm during the winter season, which is almost an hour prior to other places in the country. To catch the first rays of the sun, you can either start in the wee hours of the morning, i.e., 3 am, or, alternatively, we can camp at the plateau overnight and wait for the sunrise.
Given the remoteness of the place, reaching Dong or its adjacent areas can be an arduous task. The nearest town is that of Tezu-the headquarters of the Lohit district.
We provide you with end-to-end support and complete guide-equipped tours to the far east corner of India - Dong Valley, our schedule is a well-planned and never felt experience for a nice weekend getaway.
