Places to visit in this remote part of India are the World War II cemetery in Jairampur, Indo-Myanmar border town Nampong, and Pangsau Pass. Another place of interest is Bordumsa where the rich culture of the Tais and Singpho exist.

Nampong (Arunachal Pradesh), a small tribal community in the hills of Changlang district in Arunachal Pradesh, has now opened its homes for people to stay with them and have a taste of their culture, food and society.

Some of the families of the Tangsa community near Nampong have opened home stay, inviting tourists to not only stay with them amid the lush green nature cover but also taste their ethnic cuisine, visit the neighbouring hill tops, and so on.

Jankhong Morang, a resident of Nongki Bosti in Nampong, has turned his small traditional hut to a home stay where tourists can savour smoked tea called ‘phalap’, rice beer called ‘ju’ or ‘kham’, in addition to a staple diet of steamed rice and boiled vegetables.

During their home stay, Morang said tourists can take the Pangsau Pass, which is only 12 km from Nampong, to cross the border and visit neigbouring Myanmar. In Myanmar tourists will be guided by Myanmarese youth and visit the Lake of No Return.

The lake was called so as during the World War II, many aircraft of the Allied Forces disappeared there while flying over it.

Tourists posted to online forums,that experiencing the local Tangsa community and was an amazing experience.

The home stay provided an opportunity to stay close to nature and enjoy local food.
