Mechuka, a tiny hamlet in Arunachal Pradesh, offers a captivating blend of nature, culture, and adventure.

Mechuka’s untouched beauty, combined with its exotic tribal communities – the Membas, Ramos, Bokars, and Libos, and its iconic 400-year-old Samten Yangchag Monastery, Gurudwara Guru Nanak Taposthan and more spiritual sites makes it a perfect destination for those looking for an off beat experience.
