Located between
Tawang and
West Kameng districts, Gorichen Massif is the highest peak (22,500 ft) of
Arunachal Pradesh. An ice peak, it borders with China. It is often referred to as Sa-Nga Phu, which literally means the kingdom of the deity. Hence, it is considered sacred by
Monpa tribe. Gorichen is an ideal base for mountaineering and trekking. The months of April, May, September and October are the best time to explore. Tezpur Airport and
Rangapara North Railway Station (both in
Assam) are the nearest airport and railhead respectively.
