Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh is a state of India and is a part of what are called the Seven Sister States of the Northeast of India. Arunachal Pradesh borders the state of Assam to the south and Nagaland to the south east. Myanmar lies to the east of the state, Bhutan to the west, while the McMahon Line separates it from the zone of control of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to the north. Itanagar is the capital of the state and is situated at the foothills of the Himalayas. Agriculture is the primary driver of the economy. Much of Arunachal Pradesh is covered by the Himalayas, albeit parts of Lohit, Changlang and Tirap are covered by the Patkai. Kangto (7090m), Nyegi Kangsang (7050m), the main Gorichen peak (6488m) and the Eastern Gorichen peak (6222m) are some of the highest peaks in this part of the Himalayas.
