The Land of the Rising Sun – Arunachal Pradesh Reopens for the Tourists

The mystical and harmonious treasure of nature – Arunachal Pradesh is all set to attract tourists. In order to promote tourism in the region, the government of Arunachal Pradesh has decided to reopen the state for travelers.  Be it a foreign or an Indian Traveler, all are welcome to this treasure house of nature where the picturesque hills, lofty Himalayan mountains, unexplored passes, tranquil lakes and warm hospitality of people are the things of delight to cherish forever. All the tourism activities were closed in the region due to the deadly pandemic of coivid-19.  But now keeping in view the decreased covid cases, the government has decided to boost Arunachal tourism with proper adherence to covid appropriate behavior.

Tourists have to follow proper covid-19 travel guidelines in order to enjoy Arunachal Pradesh tourism. Those who are fully vaccinated with both the doses of covid-19 are allowed to enter the state.

The government has also passed an order to issue Inner Line Permit (ILP) and Protect Area Permit (PAP) under the existing rules and regulations. An Inner Line Permit is very necessary for Indian tourists if he /she wants to visit Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram for a limited period. Similarly, Protected Area Permit is compulsory for a foreign tourist to see certain areas which are protected including Arunachal.

Due to covid, the travel industry is affected badly, the decision to revive the tourism here will be very beneficial for homestays, tour operators, travel guides, cab operators and hoteliers as they have been facing financial difficulties due to the suspension of the permits for travel. Tourists will now be able to explore the best destinations in Arunachal Pradesh without any restrictions.
