Flanked by towering Himalayan ranges and blanketed by vast alpine forests, the Dibang Valley is home to the Idu Mishmi community and boasts stunning natural beauty, excellent trekking prospects, and cultural appeal.
Among the most sought-after activities here are the Seven Lakes trek, Aeyo Valley trek, Pomo Winter trek in Zambra Valley -- the habitat of the endangered Mishmi Takin, and the culturally revered Athupopu trek, an official said.
