    Arunachal Pradesh also called "the land of the rising sun", lies in northeast India. The state is the largest of the North-Eastern states, spread over an area of 83,743 km. Arunachal Pradesh, with its snow-clad peaks, towering mountains, roaring rivers, high altitude meadows, and vast unspoiled sub-tropical forests is aptly known as the Last Shangri La on Earth'. Arunachal Pradesh became an independent state on 20th February 1987. It is bounded by independent countries on the three sides and by Assam and Nagaland in the south. Arunachal Pradesh, whose name means Land of the Dawn-Lit Mountains in Sanskrit, is also known as the Orchid State of India or the Paradise of the Botanists.
