In this video, join me as I explore the beautiful and lesser-known Chug Valley in Arunachal Pradesh!
1. *Location & Community* 🏡
Nestled in the **West Kameng district**, Chug Valley is a serene village near Dirang.
It’s home to about 268 residents, with traditional Monpa houses and rich cultural heritage. The Monpa community is known for their skills in bamboo weaving, wood carving, and farming.
2.*Unique Agricultural Practices** 🌾
The valley is known for **red rice, corn, millet, and kiwis**, with farming practices that reflect the sustainable lifestyle of the locals.
**Cosmos flowers bloom from October to November**, adding vibrant color to the landscape and supporting biodiversity. These flowers act as natural pest repellents, helping local crops thrive.
3. Monpa Culture & Art** 🎨
Visitors can immerse themselves in Monpa traditions, including making **Shugo Sheng (handmade paper)**, used in prayer wheels and monasteries.
The *Chug Gompa*, a spiritual center, offers insights into the religious life of the Monpa people.
4. Environmental Awareness** 🌸
The community urges visitors not to pluck cosmos flowers, which attract pollinators and are crucial for local ecosystems. Reducing flower loss is important to maintain crop health and eco-tourism in the area.
5. Activities & Experiences** 🎒
Take a guided walk through the village to explore Monpa craftsmanship and sample traditional fusion cuisine** made from local produce.
Enjoy **hikes around the valley**, offering breathtaking views of lush landscapes, rivers, and terraced fields.
