Longding district

Longding District () is one of the 20 administrative districts of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. It was carved out of the southwestern portion of Tirap District in 2012. Longding shares its boundaries to the south and southeast with Myanmar, to the west with Nagaland, to the north with Assam, and to the northeast with Tirap District. Longding has a population of around 60,000 and an area of roughly 1,200 km (460 sq mi). Longding is home to the Wancho people. Because of the hilly terrain of the Patkai Range, the district experiences a humid subtropical climate, with temperatures ranging from 5 °C (41 °F) in the winter to 35 °C (95 °F) in the summer.
