Nampong, the venue of the Pangsau Pass Winter Festival, is an EAC HQ of Changlang district (situated in the southeastern part of Arunachal Pradesh, North East India). A small hilly town along the Indo-Myanmar border and Namchik basin, it is covered with evergreen tropical rainforest.
 

If you are a bona fide eco-trekker or regard yourself to be a serious global explorer, pack your bags, discard your reservations, buy a ticket and travel down to the land of the dawn lit mountains to explore and experience the powerful magic of PPWF 2010.

The festival unfolds the serenity of this secluded place. The locals are hospitable and courteous. Honesty and simplicity is a way of life. The Tangsa hospitality is overwhelming and one of the best in the world. The local delicacies are mouth watering, the smile contagious, the responses cordial, and the attitude towards strangers amicable, which makes this place an ideal destination to visit.

Along with the festival there are other things of tourist attraction. The historical Stilwell Road does not need any introduction, being the gateway of trade for the entire North East region. Driving down the serpentine Stilwell Road magnifies the excitement manifold, and while on the move, on the way to the festival ground, there is another place of utmost importance - the WW-II cemetery that reminds one of the sacrifices made by the brave soldiers to secure our today.

The surprise does not end at the festive ground. As the journey moves into tribal territory, the fragrance of wild orchids enthralls the weary mind, the ballet of colorful butterflies gladdens the heart, the throng of lively birds hypnotizes - and leaves one asking for more. The excursion from the mainland of Nampong to the No Man’s Land on the international border is worth the journey.

Hi-tech cameras cannot capture all of the magic and the moods of the festival. Still images will always narrate an incomplete story and an unfinished song. Visit here to live the charisma of the festival and to experience the beauty of the hidden region called Arunachal Pradesh, a concealed place surrounded by peace and happiness. Be an integral part of it when the PPWF happens, and savour the enchanting moments for years to come.
