Arunachal ‘Ponrung’ Bat Roost Cave: An ancient and awe-inspiring natural marvel near Lokpeng Village in Siang District
Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet Minister Ojing Tasing inaugurated the ‘Ponrung’ Bat Roost Cave, an ancient and awe-inspiring natural marvel near Lokpeng Village in Siang District, on Friday. The event was attended by Deputy Commissioner PN Thungon, district officials, and members of the local community.
With its stunning stalactite formations, ‘Ponrung’ is now more accessible thanks to the efforts of Ojing Tasing and PN Thungon, who facilitated the construction of concrete steps leading to the cave. This development marks a crucial step in positioning Ponrung as a major eco-tourism attraction.
In a major push for further development, Tasing announced an additional Rs. 20 lakhs to enhance the site. The funds will be used for infrastructure improvements, lighting, and other visitor-friendly amenities to make Ponrung a premier tourism destination in the near future.
The transformation of Ponrung into a tourism site has been spearheaded by the Lokpeng Welfare Society (LWS) under the leadership of its President, Talo Pajing. First explored by LWS in September 2024, the site’s preservation and promotion have been made possible through their dedicated efforts and local community support.
With these developments and a growing commitment to conservation, Lokpeng Village has the potential to become a model for eco-tourism in Arunachal Pradesh.
