Namsai is an important stopover for travellers in Arunachal Pradesh in India. It meets you on your way to Walong, which is the gateway to the easternmost villages. Some also take a detour while on their way to Anini. But somehow, many fail to recognise the significance of this district. Beyond its role as a transit point, Namsai quietly holds layers of cultural history that are often overlooked by those passing through in a hurry.
