The sparsely populated state of Arunachal Pradesh lies on the northeastern edge of the Indian subcontinent.

The historical picture of the state, however, is not very clear. And there are practically no records except some oral literature and ancient ruins. The region was inhabited by people of tribal origins. In the 16th century, the region was under the control of the Ahom kings. The tribes were mostly the Daflas, the Bangnisand the Monpas, influenced by Buddhist motifs and ideals. Other tribal groups were the Miri, the Tagin, the Apatanis etc. The Membas, the Ramos, the Boris, formed minor tribal groups.


Climate Check
Climatic conditions vary depending upon the topography. The state experiences a hot and humid subtropical climate in the southern part. Moving towards the central areas the climate becomes cooler while in the higher reaches it is alpine. However, the ideal time to tour the scenic sights of the Arunachal Pradesh is between October and April.
