Land of the dawn-lit mountains
a journey across Arunachal Pradesh -- India's forgotten frontier
by Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent
A mountainous state clinging to the far north-eastern corner of India, Arunachal Pradesh--meaning 'land of the dawn-lit mountains'--has remained uniquely isolated. Steeped in myth and mystery, not since pith-helmeted explorers went in search of the fabled 'Falls of the Brahmaputra' has an outsider dared to traverse it. Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent sets out to chronicle this forgotten corner of Asia. Travelling some 2,000 miles she encounters shamans, lamas, hunters, opium farmers, fantastic tribal festivals and little-known stories from the Second World War. In the process, she discovers a world and a way of living that are on the cusp of changing forever.
