Chaglagam

Chaglagam is a remote administrative circle and village in Anjaw District, Arunachal Pradesh, located about 80 km northwest of the district headquarters Hawai in the Lohit River valley. Inhabited predominantly by the Miju Mishmi tribe, it is known for its forested Eastern Himalayan landscape, river valleys and traditional tribal culture. The settlement serves as a gateway to remote border areas and offers a quiet, offbeat experience of rural Arunachal Pradesh.

Visitors can expect a small, remote Himalayan village surrounded by dense forests, steep hills and the Lohit River valley. The settlement consists of scattered traditional houses, small shops, a helipad and basic administrative buildings. The environment is tranquil and largely undeveloped, with opportunities to observe Miju Mishmi tribal lifestyle, walk along village paths and riverbanks, and view forested mountains. Infrastructure is basic with limited accommodation in homestays and government guest houses.

Chaglagam is predominantly inhabited by the Miju Mishmi tribe, one of the major tribes of Anjaw District. The village reflects traditional Mishmi customs, language, and agrarian lifestyle, and is part of the culturally distinct Mishmi Hills region of eastern Arunachal Pradesh.
