Panorama

  Menchuka- Paradise unexplored   Lush green valley, a gurgling stream, cascades of green hills with snow peaked mountains playing peeka-a-boo, among the clouds, does not it seem like the perfect definition of a hill station. Well , Menchuka is all this and much more. It seems like a place right out of the postcard or of the fairy tale. However, it is rightly said that all good things come at a price, and the journey to Menchuka is one hell of a ride through never ending winding terrains. Nestled in the north eastern most part of India, lies the small town of Menchuka, also called as Mechuka in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, which happens to be the last town near the Indo-Tibet border with LOC within a distance of 30 kms from there. Menchuka, the name is derived from three words-  'Men' means Medicine, 'Chu' means Water -streams, rivers, etc. & 'Kha' means Snow; Meaning "the land blessed with medicinal snow-fed water- river & streams"....
