Walong

Walong sits quietly at 1,094 metres on the banks of the Lohit river, its name (meaning "place full of bamboo" in the local Mishmi dialect) hinting at the untouched greenery that surrounds it. Beneath that calm, Walong carries real historical weight: this is where Indian soldiers made their stand during the 1962 war with China, and a war memorial here honours their sacrifice. Few travellers make it this far into Anjaw district, which is exactly what gives Walong its pull: a remote, reflective stop for anyone tracing India's easternmost frontier.

Because Walong is just 20 Km away from the India - China border this place was under a massive influence at the time. There is a famous Namti valley which has a memorial built to commemorate the bravery of those martyrs
