Things to see and do :

The high-altitude Mechuka Lake is one of the biggest attractions in the village. 

The Siom River, locally called Yargyap Chu, flows through the valley and offers river rafting and angling opportunities. But Mechuka is more about its people than its spell-bind - ing natural beauty. The village is inhabited by the lesser-known but friendly Buddhist Membas, and the animist Adis. The 400-year-old Samten Yongcha Monastery, locat - ed on a hillock on the west - ern edge of the village, is the most prominent tourist attraction here. The Samten Yongcha belongs to the Mahayana sect of Buddhism and was built around the same time as the Tawang Monastery in western Arunachal Pradesh. You can time your visit to coincide with Adventure @ Mechuka, the 3-day-long annual adventure festival organised in the month of November. You can partici - pate in activities such as angling, biking, paragliding and river rafting, all in the lap of nature with friendly locals playing host to you.
