Tsitapuri is yet another pilgrimage centre under Yingkiong – Tuting Circuit of Singha Circle. A spectacular sight of this place is that there are more than 108 lakes in it. Lake Danakhosa is one of them, from where river Nyigong (Yangshang Chu) and Jeying Chu originate. To reach this place we have to travel 6 days by trekking (Tuting to Nyukong, Nyukong to Tashigaon, Tashigaon to Singha, Singha to Shibrang, Shibrang to Tsitapuri).
Tsitapuri is believed to be the paradise of Lord Guru Rimpoche.
Buddhist people believe that those who are fortunate or have pure heart witness different wild animals and a Gompa with a queue of Lamas with their prayer wheel and beads in their hands on the island. The lake is surrounded by barren mountain valleys covered with snow throughout the year. The scenic beauty is so breathtaking that people hardly want to go back.
Due to the topographical diversity, the climate in Arunachal Pradesh ranges from sub-tropical to temperate depending upon the altitude. The regions in the lower belts of the state experience hot and humid climates, with a maximum temperature in the foothills reaching up to 40 °C (during the summer).
June to August.
Upper Siang is endowed with a variety of wild edible plants (WEPs) ranging from fruits and leafy vegetables to tubers utilized by the residents.
