Bhalukpong (Arunachal Pradesh)
Bhalukpong is a small town located along the southern reaches of the Himalayas in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. Bhalukpong in the foothills - a wonderful place for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, hikers, rafters and anglers.
The little town is on the Kameng River and lies along the dense forests that form the periphery of the Pakhui Game Sanctuary. Bhalukpong is a gateway to popular destinations like Tawang and Bomdila, but it has its own special charm too.
Strategically placed near the border to Assam, Bhalukpong lies close to the region where the Kameng enters Assam. Here the Kameng and other rivers teem up with the mighty Brahmaputra as it rages down the Himalayas to flood Assam.
If you are driving in via Guwahati, the Kaziranga National Park - the sanctuary of the one-horned rhinoceros is en route. From Kaziranga there is another diversion as the road crosses over the Brahmaputra to enter Arunachal.
