It is the 9th largest river in the world by discharge, and the 15th longest.

Siang District
Siang District is the 21st district of Arunachal Pradesh State, India. This district was created in 2015 by carving it out of the West Siang and East Siang districts of Arunachal Pradesh. The regions included in the district were the legislative assembly constituencies, 32-Rumgong and 35-Pangin. The district is predominantly inhabited by the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh. Name The Siang district is named after the River Siang (Yarlung Tsangpo, often identified with Brahmaputra) which flows through this district. Four other districts in Arunachal Pradesh are also named after the river: West Siang, East Siang, Upper Siang and Lower Siang.

Location Geographically, Siang District is located almost in the centre of the Siang belt of Arunachal Pradesh. Boleng is about 100 km from Pasighat, 45 k ...

Upper Siang District
Upper Siang (Pron:/ˈsjæŋ or ˈsɪæŋ/) is an administrative district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh in India. It is the fourth least populous district in the country (out of 640). History The majority of the people are of the Adi tribe while the Memba, Khamba tribe also exists there. Part of the area was controlled by the Tibetan Kingdom of Powo when streams of Tibetan pilgrims searching for one of the 'hidden lands' or beyul ( bo, sbas-yul) referred to in the prophecies of Guru Rinpoche in the East Himalayas from the mid-seventeenth century came south over the Doshong La pass, to seek the particular location of one of these earthly paradises called Padma bkod (written variously Pema köd, Pemakö and Pemako), literally 'Lotus Array' in the region. The region became administered by British India with the Simla Accord of 1914 and the demarcation of the McMahon Line, though China considers it part of South Tibet. The district was formed in 1999 when it was split from Ea ...
