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 land in Guwahati and after a night’s halt in Tezpur our tryst with the Mountains begins!

We enter Arunachal from Bhalukpong and start in the beautiful Dirang
After a relaxed day in Dirang and its surrounding Sangti Valley, we make our way up 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!
