Bhalukpong

Orang National Park, Assam, India
Bhalukpong is a scenic town situated on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, nestled on the banks of the Kameng River. It serves as the gateway to West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh and is a popular spot for adventure enthusiasts, particularly known for river rafting and angling (fishi ng). For visitors to Orang National Park, Bhalukpong offers a completely different kind of natural beauty, transitioning from the flat plains of Assam to the undulating foothills of the Himalayas. The town's primary attraction is the Kameng River, with its clear blue waters and rocky banks. White-water rafting here is a thrilling experience, offering varying grades of rapids suitable for both beginners and experienced rafters. Angling for the prized Golden Mahseer is another popular activity, attracting serious anglers, though it requires specific permits and adherence to catch-and-release policies. The surrounding forests are dense, home to various bird species and smaller mammals, making it also a pleasant area for short nature walks. Bhalukpong is also significant as the location of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) checkpoint for Indian nationals entering Arunachal Pradesh. The picturesque landscape, with the river flowing against a backdrop of green hills, creates a serene and refreshing environment. For those looking to combine a wildlife safari at Orang with some riverine adventure and a glimpse into the starting point of Arunachal Pradesh's mountainous beauty, Bhalukpong is an excellent extension to the itinerary. Its tranquil ambiance and adventure offerings make it a compelling destination.
