Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Information we collect
When you use our Contact form we collect the name, email, phone (if given), subject and message you provide. If you share a story through the Visitors Diary, we collect your name, an optional location, your story, and any video link you add. We do not process permit applications on this site, those are handled by the official Government of Arunachal Pradesh portals.
2. How we use it
Contact messages are stored so our team can read and reply to them. Visitors Diary submissions are reviewed by a moderator before anything is published, and you can ask us to remove yours at any time. We use this information only to respond to you and to run the site. We never sell your data.
3. Third-party services
Some features load from outside services when you use them: the Inner Line Permit portal (eilp.arunachal.gov.in), the FRRO portal for foreign nationals, an embedded Google Map, live weather from Open-Meteo, and web fonts and styles from public CDNs. Each is governed by its own privacy policy.
4. Cultural respect & imagery
Imagery and stories of the valley's communities are shared with consent. If you submit photos or video from your visit, please ensure you have permission from the people shown.

Terms of Entry
Manigong sits in a permit-regulated border region of Arunachal Pradesh. By planning travel here you accept the following.
1. Permits are mandatory
Every non-resident visitor must carry a valid permit: Indian nationals need an Inner Line Permit (ILP); foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP/RAP), usually arranged with a registered operator. Carry several copies and present them at every check-post. Entry without a valid permit can be refused.
2. It is a sensitive frontier
The valley lies close to the McMahon Line on the India, Tibet border. Follow the instructions of security personnel at all times. Do not photograph military posts or check-points, and do not attempt to approach the border or restricted installations without authorisation. Drone use is generally restricted near the border.
3. Respect for communities
Ask before photographing people, homes, or rituals. Respect local customs, sacred sites, and the decisions of village councils (the Kebang). Seek permission before entering private land or fields.
4. Care for the land
Leave no trace. Carry out all waste, do not disturb flora or wildlife, and do not remove plants, stones, or cultural objects. Forests and farmland here are a living resource for the communities who depend on them.
5. Trekking risk & responsibility
High-altitude travel carries real risks: rapid weather changes, rough terrain, and altitude. You take part at your own risk and should be adequately fit, insured, and equipped. Routes may be changed or cancelled at short notice for safety, weather, or permit reasons. This website is informational and does not, by itself, confirm any booking.
This is a demonstration website built as a prototype. It is not an official government portal, and the permit rules above are a general summary, always confirm current requirements on the official Arunachal Pradesh portals before you travel.
