Why February here
Ita fort, Ganga lake and the practical capital hub for ILPs and central-circuit starts.
Itanagar, the state capital, spreads over the hills with the old Ita fort, the Ganga (Geker Sinying) lake and the busy Naharlagun railhead below. It is the administrative hub where central-Arunachal circuits (Ziro onward) start and ILP logistics get sorted.
What to do
Ita fort
The 14th-15th century brick fort that names the city.
Ganga lake
The green forest lake on the outskirts.
