The tallest lingam unearthed, The 25 ft Shiva Lingam in Kardo Hills is another major attraction for devotees. The Ita Fort, which is situated in the state’s capital, Itanagar reveals the state’s history and rich ethnic culture.

Arunachal Pradesh is home to about 101 lakes. The tourist places in Andhra Pradesh have activities which attract tourists. Things to do in Andhra Pradesh can be more elaborated upon.

Arunachal Pradesh enjoys proudly the existence of big four of the animal kingdom namely, Tiger, leopard, clouded leopard and snow leopard. The state enjoys 26 major tribes including subtribes. If you are an adventurer, get your blood gushing with treks. For trekkers, the Bomdila-Tawang offers enormous scope. Tawang Chu attracts most of the trekkers because of its challenges. Starting from Jong, one can trek to Mago. May and October are the best months. You may choose to reach the place by train, through registered tour operators, by road, by sea, or by flight. You may browse through the internet for registered tour operators and rates of flights which will help you at ease! There is an excellent infrastructure of roads, rail facilities, airports and ports, which makes Andhra Pradesh easily accessible from every part of India and international cities. So go ahead! Pack your bags especially in the months of November to February. Andhra Pradesh is least recommended during summer as the temperature can hit a maximum of 45°C, making it an incredibly inconvenient option to travel to the state. Heavy rainfall and high humidity levels are experienced during the monsoons which may not be what most tourists are looking for. So the best time to explore the state of Andhra Pradesh is during the winter season, i.e. between November and February when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for the tourists to visit all the tourist attractions. .

  • Editor's Note
    channeling news from high altitude Himalayan wetlands EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Reader, Conservation teaches us new lessons everyday. Apart from opening our minds to novel and innovative solutions engineered to protect and conserve our ecosystems, it also humbles us by demonstrating the true, and often, immeasurable value of these ecosystems. But perhaps, one of the biggest lessons we have learnt is that conservation is not the privilege of a chosen few. It is a passion and a life skill which unites diverse groups of people, irrespective of their education, culture or nationality, resulting in productive partnerships. Such has been revealed to us through our regional efforts in conserving high altitude wetlands in the Himalayas. The ‘Saving Wetlands Sky-High!’ project has been a journey of discovering new conservation partners and of revelling in team-work. INSIDE Through this issue of ‘Himalayan Highlights’, we bring you stories of some of our Feature Story new and vibrant partners. We have found them in monasteries, at polo matches, Communities adopt their Wetlands on religious pilgrimages and in research institutions. We have found them in the Making a Difference young and in the old, in students and in preachers, in governments and in the Sporting Conservation people. We have found them in Pakistan, India, China, Nepal and Bhutan. But A Journey to New Learning most importantly, we have found them in the Himalayas. Gosaikunda breathes after Janaipoornima Cleanliness next to Godliness Read on to learn how the Himalayas and its ecosystems have inspired people to Strengthening through Science work together and have motivated them to make a difference.
