Mechuka, although spelt and pronounced as Menchukha by the locals, is a Buddhist Himalayan hamlet that is an undeniably stunning and picturesque destination in Arunachal. Although Mechuka is an often ignored destination by mainstream tourists who can’t think beyond Tawang. Mechuka being less explored is often referred to as a secluded paradise that can give you serious wanderlust with its gorgeous valleys. In a single sentence, if I have to define Mechuka, I’d say – If you remember, how we as a child used to paint surreal dreamscapes in watercolor, like green valleys with layers of hills with few quaint wooden cottages in front – That exactly my friend, is Mechuka.
If you are someone who loves to know about diverse festivals of India then you need to know about Losar Festival. Mechuka Valley which is situated in the West Siang District is the place where the Losar festival is celebrated. This valley is quite heavily guarded by the Indian Army and throughout the year, and is not polluted which makes it one of the most interesting and cleanest places to visit in Arunachal Pradesh.
You can stay in government lodges or homestays that are provided by the people living here. You can also visit the 400-year-old Buddhist Monastery where you can see the ancient Buddhist statues.
Ideal for: History and culture enthusiasts Location: Old Mechuka Monastery, the nearest airport is Mohanbari Airport which is 385 km away.
