West Kameng district, Administrative district in Arunachal Pradesh, India
The district stretches across mountainous terrain with deep gorges and narrow valleys, encompassing altitudes from 363 to 1906 meters above sea level.
The region transformed from the Balipara Frontier tract in 1919 to the Kameng Frontier Division after India's independence, finally splitting into East and West Kameng in 1980.
The Monpa, Nyishi, Aka, Miji, and Puroik tribes maintain their traditions through festivals like Losar and Chalo Loku within the district's boundaries.
Access to the district requires transportation from Guwahati or Tezpur, with local accommodations available in Bomdila, the administrative center.
The district contains multiple Buddhist monasteries, including Dirang and Bomdila, while sharing international borders with both Tibet and Bhutan.
