In the remote wilds of Arunachal Pradesh — home to some of the world’s richest biodiversity — clicking a single butterfly photo changed the course of one young engineer’s life.
When Minom Pertin shared that photo online, curious friends began asking, “Which species is this?” Their questions sparked a deeper curiosity in him.

Seemingly smaller dwelling huts but not, these are granaries of Adi tribe in Arunachal Pradesh, usually built bit away from village to avoid fire accidents.

Pleasingly beautiful village Riga in Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. Inhabited by Adi tribe, it’s a must visit place before modernity takes over the originality.

@ArunachalCMO When we talk about Arunachal being the carbon sink of the country, i think we should address the deforestation rate too. From 2002 to 2024, Arunachal Pradesh lost 57.6 kha of humid primary forest, making up 49% of its total tree cover loss in the same time period.
@tongamrina Few days ago I bought 3 pcs of bamboo shoots from a roadside vegetable stall at Miao and i thought it was costly, after seeing this i feel I am lucky to be in rural area😁
For the first time ever, the rare Chinese Rose Windmill (Papilio genestieri) has been recorded in India and the Shi-Yomi district!
This stunning Sino-Tibetan species, spotted during a recent high-altitude butterfly survey in Mechukha, marks a significant addition to our butterfly diversity.
Kudos to Dr. Monsoon J. Gogoi, Yumlam Benjamin Bida (ATREE), Tajum Yomcha (PCCF, Itanagar), and Duyir Buni Yedi (Mechukha Tourism) for this discovery.
This exciting find adds to the buzz for the High Altitude Butterfly & Biodiversity Meet in Mechukha this July!

Just two years ago, Mago and nearby villages were accessible only by foot.
With now road completed, a new world has opened for eco-tourism, wellness retreats, and soulful journeys into nature’s heart.
Mago, known for its healing hot springs, is no longer remote, it’s ready.
Join us in the breathtaking highlands of Menchukha for the High Altitude Butterfly & Biodiversity Meet on 19–20 July 2025. 🦋
Come witness rare butterflies, connect with nature, and be part of a movement that blends conservation with sustainable tourism.
Menchukha awaits!
Proud Moment for Silluk Village
Silluk has been featured in the CBSE Class 3 EVS textbook Chapter 12a national recognition of its inspiring journey. Kudos to the Swatch Silluk Abhiyan team led by Shri Kepang Nong Borang and heartfelt thanks to Ms. Kini Singh, IAS.@MyGovArunachal
@Beyulpemako@RKharmujai@MyGovArunachal Yes, i agree with you, only we can do is preserving our own culture and govt/community must try to set up heritage centers of each tribe to attract tourism as well as preserving tradition.
