Anini

Arunachal Pradesh, India

Anini is the headquarters of the Dibang Valley district where the clouds come down to kiss the land. With much of its beauty peeking from behind the misty air, this unexplored town is the place to visit for pristine calmness. It is a small underdeveloped town, mainly because of its remoteness. Yet, it still has basic road and air links to the rest of India. The Idu Mishmi tribal people constitute a majority here. Most of Anini is located on a miniature plateau between two tributaries of the Dibang river, the Dri river and Mathun river.  Anini is marked by pleasant weather and immense natural beauty, making it a tourist’s paradise, appearing from the clouds. Its silence, beauty and magic is almost untouched and can relax you to the very core.
