Aalo

The Land of Galo people

Aalo, earlier called 'Along', is the district headquarters of West Siang. Lying at the confluence of the Sipu and Siyom rivers, the stunning surroundings of Aalo with the ethnic villages are considered one of Arunachal's best health resorts.

Tourist attractions include the Ramakrishna Mission Campus, Patum Bridge, Bagra Village, Darka Village, Donyi Polo Dere temple, the Kamki hydropower dam, the Mithun breeding farm and orange orchards.

A hanging bridge long made out of bamboo and cane on the Siang river is another must-visit spot. Rafting on the Siyom river is a popular sport in this place. Aalo can also be your base to explore the northern Arunachal Pradesh landscapes, including Mechuka and Yinkiong.
