The state of Arunachal Pradesh, moulded out of the mountainous margins of Assam, is incomparable to any other place in the world due to its ethnic variety and exuberant natural beauty. In many parts its as yet untouched rainforest shelters 110 different peoples or tribes and their mainly animist cultures influenced at the country's fringes by Buddhism, both from Tibet and Burma. Arunachal is the result of 10 years of painstaking travel and research among all of this state's many peoples. It covers geography, history and anthropology, through brilliant photography.
