Which village is the easternmost village of India?

Concept

The "easternmost" point of a country is decided by longitude alone — the location lying farthest to the east (largest eastern longitude). For India, the eastern extremity falls in Arunachal Pradesh, along the Lohit/Anjaw belt near the McMahon Line (the India–China LAC).

Note: among the four villages offered, the comparison is purely about which lies farthest east; some sources also popularise nearby Dong/Kaho as India's absolute easternmost spot, but those are not among the choices.

Applying it here

Place each option on the map and compare how far east it sits:

• Kibithu — in Anjaw district, Arunachal Pradesh, on the Lohit river close to the LAC with China; this is the far eastern edge of India.

• Ziro — in Lower Subansiri district, central Arunachal Pradesh; well to the west of the Anjaw/Lohit frontier.

• Mawlynnong — in the East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya; northeast India, but far to the west of Arunachal's eastern rim.

• Kalap — in the Tons valley, Uttarakhand; in the northwest Himalaya, nowhere near the east.

Among the four, Kibithu lies at the greatest eastern longitude, so it is the easternmost village offered.

Cross-check / contrast

Kibithu sits beside Walong and very near Dong (often popularised as the spot that greets India's first sunrise). That whole Anjaw cluster marks India's eastern fringe — confirming that of the given choices, only the village in easternmost Arunachal Pradesh fits, while villages in Meghalaya and Uttarakhand lie much farther west.
