Local tips
Come in the last hour before sunset for warm light and evening life.
Stay back from the edge, especially when the river is high.
Do not swim here; the current is strong even near the bank.
Keep children close to you on the riverfront.
Try snacks from the evening stalls.
Use insect repellent at dusk, when mosquitoes come out.
Take your litter with you to keep the riverfront clean.
The town's front row
Pasighat's riverfront is where the town comes to look at the Siang. In the evening, families walk, young people meet and street stalls sell snacks, while the river runs wide and fast below. It is the easiest place to get a sense of the river without leaving town.
What you will see
Wide channels of grey-green water, sandbanks and islands, and the forested hills on the far side. Bridges and river crossings along this stretch add interest, and on clear evenings the sky turns orange over the water.
When to go
The last hour before sunset is best, when the light is warm and the riverfront is busiest. From October to March the air is clearest. In the monsoon, the river runs high and brown, which is dramatic but best watched from a safe distance.
Getting the photograph
Frame the river with local life in the foreground: people walking, children playing, a boat on the water. A wide lens takes in the scale of the Siang; a longer lens can pick out distant boats or birds.
Visiting well
Stay back from the edge, especially when the river is high, and keep children close. Do not swim here. Keep the riverfront clean; take litter with you.
Nearby
For a closer look at the braided channels, head just out of town to the Siang riverbanks. For wildlife, plan a winter boat trip to Daying Ering.
