The Abor Country River Camp is an eco-lodge passionately put together by Abor Country Travels and Expeditions. Right from the location which is on the banks of the Siang River that flows quietly through Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh, and in the middle of the tropical forest; this is a retreat into the lap of nature. It stays true to the ethos of ecology and does not depend too much on artificial resources. For instance, it draws its water supply from a natural spring with fresh water and gets its electricity from solar power, along with a generator that works as a backup.

The camp has a total of three rooms with attached toilets and, two grand Maharaja tents with individual toilets. All the rooms are cozy and exude a warm feel that comes from generous use of wood. The intricate woven cane wall panels lend a luxurious as well as ethnic look. An eclectic collection of objects sourced locally and elsewhere by the owner, Oken Tayeng, a wanderlust himself, sum up the décor. This is where Tayeng displays local craft and blends them with a contemporary touch. Interestingly, every object in the roomsin some way tells a story. The locally-manufacture wooden bedscrafted by local carpenters herald the richness of resource in that part of the world; the wooden dustbins are a celebration of the state’s natural abundance; the lamps made of fishing nets highlight the rich fauna and flora of the land.

If you enjoy outdoor splendor, this is it.Try a hand at birding and spot some of the finest birds that call this Himalayan paradise their home. Team up your birding activities with a healthy bout of trekking and be sure to catch some real photo op moments. What with the towering peaks and plunging valleys, it would be hard to not to be blown away by the vistas.

It goes without saying that once you are done with the day’s rigorous activities, kick back and enjoy the cool mountain breeze with a hot plate of the local delicacies put together by the camp chef.
