'''Pasighat''' is the headquarters of [[East Siang]] [[district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Arunachal Pradesh]]. Situated at the eastern foothills of the [[Himalayas]] at {{Convert|155|meter|ft|abbr=}} above mean sea level, Pasighat is Arunachal's oldest town.<ref>[http://www.newsonair.com/Oldest%20town%20of%20Arunachal%20Pradesh.asp Pasighat: Oldest town of Arunachal Pradesh] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110126110812/http://www.newsonair.com/Oldest%20town%20of%20Arunachal%20Pradesh.asp |date=26 January 2011 }}. All India Radio.</ref> The [[Government of India]] included Pasighat in the [[Smart Cities Mission]] development scheme in June 2017.

It is also an [[India-China Border Roads#Border airport and ALG projects|Advance Landing Ground]] (ALG) of [[Indian Air Force]].

== History ==
Pasighat was founded in 1911 A.D. by the [[British Raj]] as a gateway to administrative convenience of the greater [[Abor Hills]] and the north area in general. Primarily there were settlements of ''Adi'' tribesmen who are still living in the villages in and around Pasighat. The year 2011 marked 100 years of its existence.

Cognizance of Pasighat emerged due to the last Anglo-Abor War that was fought in 1912 subsequent to the fourth Anglo-Abor War in 1894. This necessitated the first-ever administrative headquarters being established here with an Assistant Political Officer posted. In the post-independence era, Pasighat is credited with the first Airfield (near Paglek, P. I. Line) established in 1946.{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}

The first ''Agricultural Institute'' in Arunachal Pradesh was also established at Pasighat in 1950. Other forms of later infrastructural development include:
* General Hospital (established 1954, although some claim it as old as the town itself)
* Co-operative society Ltd (1957)
* Nurse Training Centre (affiliated to General Hospital)
* [[Jawaharlal Nehru College]] - the first-ever College in Arunachal Pradesh (established 3 July 1964<ref>{{Cite web|title=JAWAHARLAL NEHRU COLLEGE|url=https://www.jncpasighat.edu.in/|access-date=June 17, 2020}}</ref>)
* The first-ever [[All India Radio]] Station in the State in 1966.

Early proponents for shifting the state capital from [[Shillong]] (the then ''[[North-East Frontier Agency|NEFA]]''), underlined Pasighat's better infrastructure. However, the privilege was lost to the present capital [[Itanagar]] in 1974. The only significant development in Pasighat that came after that was the ''College Of Horticulture'' and ''Forestry Central Agriculture University'' established on 7 March 2001.

==Geography==
Pasighat is located at {{Coord|28.07|N|95.33|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/30/Pasighat.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Pasighat]</ref> It has an average elevation of {{convert|153|m|ft|disp=or}}. Pasighat has a typical lowland Northeast India [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Cwa'') a little too cool to qualify as a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am'').

The unique trough-like features surrounded by high hills on three sides make Pasighat ideal for attracting rain-bearing clouds that come in from the [[Assam]] plain. The rain-bearing wind gets obstructed by the hills and brings exceptionally heavy rainfall from June to September when the average monthly rainfall is {{convert|796|mm|in|2|disp=or}} – equivalent to over {{convert|1|in|mm|1|disp=or}} per day. Winter is marked by strong, cool, dry northeasterly winds from the [[Siberian High]], which make Pasighat fog-free even in winter. Days during the “cool” season from November to February are generally warm and clear, whilst the “hot” spring season from March to May sees an increasing frequency of heavy thunder downpours and very warm to hot, humid weather with even mornings warm.

The [[Brahmaputra River]] emerges from the foothills under the name of ''Dihang ''or ''Siang'' in Pasighat. It enters the plains from here, in the west of ''Sadiya'' town in Arunachal Pradesh. Flowing south-west, it receives its main left-bank tributaries, viz. ''Dibang'' and ''Lohit''; thereafter, it is known as the ''Brahmaputra'' in the plains. Then it crosses the Pasighat area heading for the Assam plains.

==Tourism==
{{travel guide|section|date=July 2013}}
[[FILE:AR5Siang banks at Pasighat.jpg|500px|thumb| Siang river meeting the plains]]
Pasighat is the land of the mighty Siang and indigenous hanging bridges{{According to whom|date=June 2020}}. A waterfall graces the mountain cliffs and chills the vicinity. Attractions in the town include:

* '''The Daying Ering Wildlife Sanctuary''' in Arunachal Pradesh, India is one of the most popular wildlife parks of the state. Spread over an area of {{convert|190|km2}}, alluvial grasslands form the major area and wooded areas constitute about 15%. The rest of the area is water. The present land of the sanctuary was mostly donated by the Mebo and Monngu Banngos. It was, is, and will always be popularly called Jopong, which was a named given by locals and land owners in memory and honour of Rutum Jotan Pertin during 1790s{{According to whom|date=June 2020}}. This term was coined by the Pertin-Pannginng friendship and has been accepted by all{{Who|date=June 2020}} for the last 225 years.
* '''Pangin''' is about {{Convert|60|km|mi|abbr=}} from Pasighat, and is connected by road. It stands at a point where [[Siyom River|River Siyom]] meets [[Brahmaputra River|River Siang]] and the blue waters of Siyom meet the green Siang. Besides above, the district is endowed with some scenic locations particularly on both sides of the Siang. There are also a number of rare plants and herbs which are of medicinal importance. Botanists and Zoologists can have ample scope for study of the rich plant and wildlife resources.
* '''Bodak Scenic Area''': The Bodak-Mebo-Jengging Scenic Area is a popular picnic spot for tourists from neighbouring states, towns, and the residents of Pasighat. The scenic area is a large forested area with villages, agricultural lands within, at about 15 kilometres away from the Pasighat main town. The scenic area is along the highway starting from the Siang Bridge and diverges to Mebo village on the right hand side and to Jengging village on the left hand side. The road to Jenning is much more frequented because of the vistas of the Siang river from the road. Youngsters are frequently seen going on a long drive in this area. The area is also home to the '''Mïdu Lereng''' stone [[monolith]]. Villagers of the area have shown concern about the garbage generated and destruction to the environment from frequent tourist visits and many regular picnic spots are now taxed by NGOs who maintain the pristine environment. Village level governments of the nearby villages have been very critical over the matter and have erected notices, warnings and appointed members of the village on a rotational basis to keep an eye for possible damages to property, environment, and poaching and trespassing. There are fines in place for the defaulters.
* '''Kekar Monying''': A mountain cliff near ''Rottung'' which is an important historical place because it was here that the [[Adi people|Adi]] put up a strong resistance against the British in 1911. The war was a part of a punitive expedition undertaken by the British for murdering ''Noel Williamson'', a political officer in the previous year by ''Matmur Jamoh'', a native of ''Yagrung'' village.
* '''Komsing''': A village on the left bank of the Siang is the place of ''Williamson's'' murder. A stone epitaph bearing the name of ''Noel'' ''Williamson'' still lies near the Siang.
* '''Komlighat''' used to be a river port at an earlier time. The [[ghat]] marks the area of the colonial town of Pasighat which has been submerged into the Siang river following a flood and the river changing its course. Now a popular evening spot, the area is frequented by families, youngsters, and the health conscious for jogging, yoga, etc. The spot is also popular for its street food sold by vendors in the area. The ghat provides a wonderful view of the river and the hills surrounding the Pasighat plains. The distant hills are covered with snow in winters. The river bank in the area is very close to the floodplain, which makes for an excellent view with a large stretch of riverine beach. Paradoxically, the lower flood plain also makes it susceptible to flooding during the monsoon and thus, has rows of embankments and other flood control mechanisms.
* '''Pasighat Buddhist Temple:''' Located in the opposite side of the air strip from the highway, this small temple serves as the only Buddhist worship place in Pasighat.
* '''East Siang District Museum:''' Also located in the opposite side of the [[Pasighat Airport]], it is the district museum of the East Siang District.
* '''Adi Baane Kebang Headquarters:''' Pasighat also houses the headquarters of the [[Adi Baane Kebang Youth Wing|Adi Baane Kebang]], which acts as the de facto cultural parliament governing the cultural, linguistic, traditional aspects of the Adi people.
* [[Pasighat Airport]] is a military airstrip, which has been upgraded and is also being used as a civilian airport to cater to the public.
* '''[[Gomsi]]''': A cultivation area near [[Rani Village]] is another place of historical importance. In June 1996, a team of archaeologists led by Shri T. Tada, Deputy Director, Archaeology of the Research Department conducted a trial excavation and survey in the site. They have found broken pieces of different evidence, of past culture of early medieval period (probably Pre-Ahom).[[File:River Siang (Brahmaputra) entering into the plains at Ranaghat, on the east of Roing.jpg|thumb|River Siang (Brahmaputra) entering into the plains at Ranaghat, on the east of Pasighat]]
