Gold rush or gold fever is a discovery of gold. Gold rushes happened at most of the continents. From Califorina , New South Wales so on. Myself talking about a river region where the gold rush occurred but not mentioned in the history books. Located in India a northeastern state name Arunachal Pradesh, a river name- Subansuri.
Subansuri is called the River of gold.
According to ancient mythology – the river beds composed of black sand, pebbles
and boulder and gold nuggets are
extracted in traditional and old method. The word ‘subarna’ & ‘suri’ means gold
& flow respectively. It is the biggest tributary of the mighty Brahamputra
contributing 11% of its discharge. Originate from Tibetan Himalayas and makes
its way to India via Arunachal Pradesh.
Now
no more gold extraction took place where. But I m focusing on the natural
beauty of this region in a brief scale. For adventurer, naturalist it is far better then gold.
Main Bird in this region is Great Hornbill (Buceros bicoris)
Main tree of this region are Pine tree and Hollong (Disterocarpus retusus)
Main orchid is the Foxtail orchid (rhychostylis retusa)
Fish in this region are Tourt fish, Golden Mahseer (Tor putitora).
Along the region of this river orchid, bird and animal sanctuary are situated. The lower half of the river is a delight for anglers, trekking and river rafting best time to visit March to June and September to November. The river was golden with gold in past but now golden with all natural beauties
