Changlang District, showered with Bio-diversity is the eastern most part of India, having international boundary with Myanmar (Burma) in the east and south, district boundaries with Tirap District in the southwest and Lohit District in the north and State boundary with Assam in the west, where the morning Sun light first touches the Horizon of the eastern Mountain ranges of the District while the rest of the Country still napping in their cozy beds waiting for the emergence of the dawn of the day.
