The beautiful Siyom valley is also the home of the Memba tribe....one of the ethenic tribes of Arunachal....the other one is Adi tribe but largely reside in the lower hills of the valley ....They still follow many primitive practices...Religion is animist..(follow shamanistic-animistic religious traditions)...But the Membas are Buddhist. They build wooden stilted houses which are pretty and unique to the area...The frame is made from Bamboo and the roof is a thick covering of leaves....the animals..pigs..goats...chicken are kept in the bottom portion while the owners live on the top floor !
The people are modernizing quickly, notice the new mobike parked under the house....Western clothes and mobiles are the latest accessories...n...fashion craze....The old ways giveth way to the new...generations !
After a few kilometers the valley narrows into a single motorable track and the steep..thickly forested...unexplored mist covered mountains begin to call you further....
