Welcome to Sunrise Festival Dong, Arunachal, the first-ever New Year festival in Arunachal Pradesh designed around the magical moment when the first sunrise of India lights up the eastern sky.

Nestled where the Lohit River meets the Himalayan foothills, Dong is one of the most offbeat New Year destinations in India, perfect for travellers seeking peace, culture, adventure, and a soulful connection with nature.

As the world sleeps, the mountains of Dong glow with the first rays of hope. The sky shifts from deep blue to fiery gold, marking the moment of the first sunrise in India.

Every year, travellers come here to experience this life-changing moment — but this year, it becomes a festival.
