• In East Arunachal Pradesh is the scenic Anini district. This exciting trek takes you to the 7 lakes in Dibang Valley that are at a maximum height of 14,000 feet. 

A group of seven explored the seven lakes route in 2020 and thereafter made the necessary infrastructure. They are passionate about promoting this trek. On seeing the pictures it looks very interesting and exciting. Trek organised by Emudu Trekkers. Trek details and pictures provided by Emudu Trekkers (Jimu Mele, a founding member). Have only formatted it. I visited Arunachal way back in 2013, drove over 3000 kms over 19 days and fell in love with this Indian State and its people. Good part is most people speak Hindi - Editor.

The trek is presented day wise with pictures. It is an eight day trek. Starting point is Emuli village i.e. 21 kms from Anini, the district headquarters of Dibang Valley. How to reach Anini is told at end of article.
