  • Arunachal Pradesh Yatra by Sanjeev Nayyar July 2014 I Spent Nearly
    Arunachal Pradesh Yatra By Sanjeev Nayyar July 2014 I spent nearly three weeks in Arunachal Pradesh, drove over 3,000 kms starting from Deomali in the east to Tawang in the west the last stop being Gauhati. It was one of the most intense drives and yatras of my life. We covered touristy places, schools, war memorials and border visit. This piece gives you the route that I took, places to see along the way plus links of pictures uploaded on esamskriti. Photo captions have travel tips etc. Travel Route I took a Mumbai-Kolkatta-Dibrugarh flight. If you book tickets in advance then get a cheap fare. INDIGO was bang on time – reliable as always. From Dibrugarh took a Tata Sumo. It is about a 3-4 hour drive to Ramakrishna Mission School, Narrottamnagar in Deomali. From RKM it is about an 8 hour drive to Teju. Route was Deomali- Godumsa-Namsai-Chowkham-Wakro-Parasuram Kund-Tezu. We stopped by at Chowkham, Wakro and Parasramkund. Tezu to Roing - there was a bridge being built over river in September 2013 when we went. If completed Tezu to Roing is about 2-3 hours. We had to take a longer route, took app 4 hours. From Roing Mayurdia is a 2 hour drive, can do a day trip. From Roing takes about 2 hours to reach the banks of the Brahmaputra – crossing the river takes one hour but might need to wait longer depending on boat availability. After crossing the river it is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive to Dibrugarh.

Considering its geographic location, Guwahati, the capital of Assam State may be rightfully termed as the gateway to Tawang forthe majority of the tourists planning to visit Tawang. It is approximately 543 Kms. from Tawang and is well connected by Air with direct daily flights from New Delhi and Kolkata and single stop flights coming from Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur etc. which are operated by all the Airlines of the country like Air India, Indigo, Jet Airlines, Spice jet, Go Air etc. with more additions in number of flights and operators expected due to launch of new private airlines in the country. Besides Air connectivity, Guwahati is also very well connected with other major cities like Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Jammu, Bangalore, Secundrabad etc. through the vast network of the Indian Railways After reaching Guwahati, one can reach Tawang through the following alternative modes. 1. By Helicopter:The Arunachal Pradesh Helicopter Service is operational from Guwahati Airport and presently the Helicopter services operate from Tawang to Guwahati and back on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. However due to the limited number of seats (on an average 10 – 12 only ) it is advisable that the tickets are pre-booked by calling the Counter at the Guwahati airportor the Aviation officer at Tawang and thereafter paying the ticket charges at the Counter as till now online booking of tickets has not been started by the State Government. The Helicopter journey to Tawang over Bhutan takes around 55 minutes and local transport at Tawang can be arranged by the concerned Hotel / Tour Operator.

  • Chapter 3 Sedimentary Rocks
    Chapter 3 Sedimentary Rocks Rivers that flow into the Gulf of Mexico through Alabama and other Gulf Coast states are typically brown, yellow-orange or red in color due to the presence of fine particulate material suspended within the water column. This particulate material is called sediment, and it was produced through the erosion and weathering of rocks exposed far inland from the coast (including the Appalachian Mountains). Sediment transported by rivers eventually finds its way into a standing body of water. Sometimes this is a lake or an inland sea, but for those of us that reside in southern Alabama, it is almost always the Gulf of Mexico. When rivers enter standing bodies of water (e.g., the Gulf), the sediment load that they are carrying is dropped and deposition occurs. Usually deposition forms more or less parallel layers called strata. Given time, and the processes of compaction and cementation, the sediment may be lithified into sedimentary rock. It is important to note that deposition of sediment is not restricted to river mouths. It also occurs on floodplains surrounding rivers, on tidal flats, adjacent to mountains in alluvial fans, and in the deepest portions of the oceans. Sedimentation occurs everywhere and this is one of the reasons why your humble author finds sedimentary geology so fascinating. Sedimentary rocks comprise approximately 30% of all of the rocks exposed at the Earth's surface. Those that are composed of broken rock fragments formed during erosion of bedrock are termed siliciclastic sedimentary rocks (or clastic for short). Sedimentary rocks can also be produced through chemical and biochemical deposition.
