Mr. Shah visited and stayed overnight in Kibithoo, which is India's eastern most forward post, along the border with China, on April 10.
Posting a video showing the snow-clad mountains, waterfalls, river and valleys in the village, Mr. Shah wrote on Twitter: "Captured the beautiful landscapes during my visit to Kibithoo, India's first village. Arunachal Pradesh is blessed with immense natural beauty. I urge all to visit Arunachal Pradesh, especially Kibithoo, to be inspired by its history and stunned by nature's marvels".
During his trip, the Home Minister had said that Kibithoo should not be termed as India's last village but first village as the Sun's rays fall first in this village in the country.
