One of Arunachal's Most Extraordinary Corners
Shergaon sits in the heart of West Kameng district — one of the most biodiverse and culturally rich corners of Arunachal Pradesh. Here is everything you can explore during your stay at Acorn.
Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary
One of Asia's top birding hotspots with 450+ recorded species — including the rare Bugun Liocichla discovered here in 2006. The dense forest trails are magical for wildlife photography and nature walks.
Shergaon Waterfalls
A stunning cascade hidden within the pine and oak forest, just a short walk from the village. Best visited during the monsoon and post-monsoon season when the flow is at its peak.
Apple Orchards
Visit during September–November for the apple picking season. Walk through fragrant orchards, pick fresh apples straight from the tree, and take home the freshest fruit you've ever tasted.
Sherdukpen Village
Meet the indigenous Sherdukpen community — known for their unique culture, traditional weaving, and warm hospitality. A village walk here is one of the most enriching experiences in the region.
Rupa Lake
A peaceful lake ringed by mountains, perfect for a leisurely half-day drive from Shergaon. The road itself winds through breathtaking mountain scenery — pack a picnic and take your time.
Bhalukpong Fort Ruins
Ancient fort ruins sitting dramatically on the banks of the Kameng River. Combine this with a visit to the riverbanks and the entry point of Arunachal Pradesh for a full-day excursion.
