I am posted in Kalaktang, West Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh.
The place is well connected via road to different places of West Kameng town/ villages and with neighbouring state Assam.
Guwahati, International airport is around 6 hours from the town.
It also shares its international border with Bhutan.
The people here are majorly Monpas and also we has Sherdukpen and Bropas living around the area.
The place is scenic and rustic, a good place for touring and home-stay.
People follow Mahayana form of Buddhism.

This is a place to burn pyre... One can see such construction in every corners of the entire district... It makes me feel respectful of the place and understand that after we die, we become one with the nature...
