| Select tourist routes : |
Certain tourist routes have recently been opened
in Arunachal Pradesh. In an area as pristine and as delicate as this wide
spread endorsment is accorded to carrying capacity and environmental
safeguards.
The first of these routes originates at Itanagar and links up with Ziro in
the center of the state 150 kms away at an altitude of 1754 meters in the
replendent Apatani plateau. The trail pushes farthest east and north,
crossing the Subansiri river at Daporijo to reach Along. Here we meet that
peripatetic harbinger of Mansarovar, the Siang - still within its white
water section. The final section of this circuit goes down stream to
Pasighat and re-enters north Assam before returning to Itanagar.

| Margherita Railhead : |
 The second tourism circuit covers the well known Namdapha National park in the Triap district near the east end of the state, not far from the Burmese border. The designated entry and exit point on this circuit is the railhead at Marghertia also reached by National Highway 38 from Tinsukia. Coaches continue to Miao for entry in to the park. Uniqueness is that the elevation varies between 200 and 4500 meters. The park is also unmatched as the home to four of the large cats : tiger, leapord, clouded leapord and snow leapord
