Pasighat
is the HQ (Headquarter) of west Siang
distict, located on the right bank of
river Siang (name given to Brahmaputra
in Arunachal). Pasighat is the oldest
town of Arunachal established in 1911,
situated at a height of 155 m., from
the sea level and has a population of
nearly 78,000 people. The British government
had appointed a political officer to
view to help the natives of the area
to comedown to the plains of Assam for
trade and commerce. Pasighat has been
often called the 'gateway of the state
of Arunachal Pradesh'. The town derives
its name from the 'Pasis', a tribe of
the area.
Pasighat and its surrounding areas
abound in natural beauty and the place
has rightly been called as a photographers
delight: it is a land to have a rendezvous
with Mother Nature in her purest form.
Far away from the maddening crowd,
the place has the potential to provide
solace to the tired and tense people
from the outside world. The magic
of the land can only be felt when
one arrives here. And, on one's return
from the place, the heart is filled
with joy, the mind is freshened and
the soul is elevated to new heights
of bliss; the memory always haunts
and the temptation to visit Pasighat
always prompts one to come here again
and again. The climate is hot and
humid in summers and temperate during
winters. Pasighat is ideal for trekking,
hiking,& river rafting, boating
& angling on the river Siang.
