Arunachal Pradesh has a lot of potential, particularly in adventure tourism, said Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein. He urged focusing on the initiative of Dekho Apna Pradesh to highlight the virgin spots for luring potential tourists and promoting tourism in Arunachal in a big way.

Mein mentioned this at the flagged-in of “Honda Sunchasers 2021-H’ness Quest for the Land of the Rising Sun” signature motorcycle rally at Kongmukham (Golden Pagoda) Namsai.

Mein was confident that the motorcycle rally will boost and promote Arunachal tourism and attract more adventure lovers for exploring the unexplored places of the pristine state.

Mein said that Arunachal Pradesh has a lot of potential to become one of the best tourist destinations in India and the State government is making all efforts for boosting tourism in the state.

He praised the efforts and initiative of the Department of Tourism and Honda Motorcycles for organizing the mega motorcycle rally to promote Arunachal as one of the best motorcycle riding destinations.

“I am thankful to the Ministry of Tourism, Govt of India and the Dept of Tourism, Govt of Arunachal Pradesh for sponsoring the motorbike rally to eastern Arunachal under ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ as this part of the State is little known to the tourists and needs little more exposure/promotion,” said Mein.

Mein added that the Ministry of Tourism has come up with the scheme, ‘Dekho Apna Desh’, under which it has appealed to all travelers to visit at least 15 destinations across the country and to upload in the website for inspiring others.

Mein said that there is no lack of tourist places in Arunachal and it is blessed with scenic beauties, diverse cultures, delicious cuisines and bio-diversity.

“Such inter-states travel will strengthen brotherhood, bring us closer to one another and give us an opportunity to know each other well through cultural exchange,” said Mein. In the long run, it will further strengthen the spirit of nationalism and oneness, he added.

The motorcycle rally passed through Pasighat, Bomjir, Tezu (Parsuram kund), Miao, Namdhapa and Pangsau Pass covering a total distance of 800 kms before finally culminating at Namsai.
