Road Less Travelled: Arunachal Pradesh (West)

Welcome to the Land of the Dawn-lit Mountains.

A mass of densely forested, impossibly steep hills, and snow-capped peaks, Arunachal Pradesh is home to 26 indigenous tribes, from the Monpas of Tawang to the Apatanis of Ziro.

Join us as we explore the Western part of India’s wildest and least explored state.

We will drive first to Dirang. After a relaxed day in the beautiful Sangti Valley and Dirang, we head to Tawang. In Tawang, we will spend time at the Madhuri Lake and the magnificent Tawang Monastery, the largest monastery in India and the second largest in the world, after the Potala Palace in Lhasa.

We will end our road trip in Arunachal Pradesh by driving to the town of Bomdila, following which we will head back to Assam.

The entire road journey is filled with breathtaking views, as you pass the many waterfalls and mountain streams, terraced paddy fields and alpine forests. Surely, the views make up for the bumpy ride!
