Introduction

Tibetan Settlement, Tuting was established in the year 2013. It is situated in the District of Upper Siang, Arunachal Pradesh. There are 17 villages under the Tibetan Settlement Office, Tuting. It is about 150 Km from the town of Yingkong to Tuting. The weather condition here is very cold during winter and extremely hot in summer. The most difficult part is our road construction. During summer due to the heavy rains narrow road get blocked and villagers have to walk all the way from Tuting to their respective places.

All the Arunachal Pradesh states are classified under a protected area, where foreigners and other inland people are not permitted to enter without the inner land permit or PAP, as it comes under the North-Eastern borders of India.
