Overview
One of the farthest northeastern states of India, Arunachal Pradesh is home to the mighty Himalayas, surreal valleys, and rugged terrains. Being far-flung from the rest of India, it remains one of the least visited states in the country. With no hordes of tourists or overcrowded spots, you can expect a peaceful and immersive travel experience here. Arunachal Pradesh is also known as “The Land of Dawn-Lit Mountains.”
We begin our 6-night, 7-day trip to Tawang from Guwahati. Guwahati, known as "The City of Eastern Light," stands on the southern banks of the mighty Brahmaputra River. It is the capital of Assam and serves as the gateway to the entire northeastern region. Surrounded by hills and the Brahmaputra River, Guwahati boasts rich and diverse flora and fauna, enhancing its natural scenic beauty. Our next stop is Bhalukpong, a small town that serves as the gateway to western Arunachal Pradesh. Situated on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border, it is surrounded by captivating hills and lush forests. Bhalukpong is famous for the Kameng River, which flows through the Bhalukpong Valley and is considered one of the most beautiful rivers in Arunachal Pradesh. Dirang is a picturesque village in Arunachal Pradesh, located in the West Kameng district. Situated on the banks of the Jia Bharali River at an altitude of 4,900 feet, Dirang offers a tranquil retreat. Here, you can take a peaceful walk through the village and immerse yourself in the breathtaking natural surroundings.
Sangestar Tso, also known as PTSO Lake, is one of the highest-altitude lakes in India and the world, sitting at an elevation of 15,200 feet. It is located on the route from Tawang to Bumla Pass and is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts.
The next destination on our itinerary is Tawang, situated at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Tawang’s unmatched natural beauty will leave you awestruck. One of its iconic attractions is the Tawang Monastery, the largest monastery in India. While traveling to Bomdila, we will also visit the Kiwi Garden. Bomdila, a charming town in the West Kameng district, is home to the magnificent Bomdila Monastery, one of the most beautiful monasteries in Arunachal Pradesh. The monastery also offers a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Bomdila Town. The ideal time to visit Arunachal Pradesh is during the summer months, from April to June, when the valleys come alive with wildflowers and lush greenery, and the weather remains pleasant. For those who want to experience Arunachal Pradesh in winter, October to February is the best time to witness snow-covered landscapes and majestic mountains.
