Guwahati to Guwahati

Overview

The “land of the dawn-lit mountains” Arunachal Pradesh is a well kept secret state of Northeast India, tucked away amidst the surreal Himalayas, mystical forests and breathtaking and wild landscapes unlike any other.

We start our 5 nights 6 days Trip to Ziro from Guwahati. Guwahati is known as 'the city of Eastern Light' and it stands on the southern banks of mighty river Brahmaputra. It is the capital of Assam and gateway to the entire north-eastern states. It is surrounded by hills and the Brahmaputra river, rich and diverse flora and fauna enhance its natural scenic beauty. Bhalukpong is a small town which is the gateway to the western side of Arunachal Pradesh. It lies on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh and is surrounded by captivating hills and forests. Bhalukpong is famous for its river “Kameng” which flows through the Bhalukpong Valley and is one of the most beautiful rivers of Arunachal Pradesh. Itanagar has a perfect blend of modern city with the writings of a world long gone and it is still inhabited by many indigenous tribes and you can experience both Hindu and buddhist culture in beautiful harmony here. A drive to Ziro (5600 ft) along the lush tropical mountain scenery as you pass through the Nishi villages and also see the mithuns (relatives of the sacred Indian cow). Arrive into Ziro, home of the little-known Apatani tribe and get your cameras ready for photos and ears wide open to hear tribal stories. You can learn about the ingenious system of 'pisci-culture' where villagers breed fish and grow rice within the same plot of land. Also visit Hapoli township to witness the local market and also visit the Tarin fish farm, a beautiful high altitude fish breeding farm and the Museum.

A visit to the nearby Hong village is also on the cards, which is the largest tribal village in Asia, where you will get a rare and privileged insight into a medieval world and witness the Apatani culture.

The ideal time to visit Arunachal Pradesh would be during summers i.e. April to June where the valley comes alive with wildflowers and greenery and weather is pleasant. If you want to experience Arunachal Pradesh during winters, October to February is the best time to experience snow covered landscapes and mountains. Ziro Valley is known for its unique and sustainable farming. The Apatani tribe practices wet rice cultivation without using animals or machines. They also raise fish in the same fields — a method called pisci-culture. Their wooden homes are built on stilts using bamboo and timber. Villages are well planned and follow traditional eco-friendly systems. Because of this, Ziro is being considered for UNESCO World Heritage status.

Indian tourists need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter Arunachal Pradesh. Foreigners require a Protected Area Permit (PAP). The nearest airport and railway station is in Guwahati. From there, Ziro is about 12–14 hours by road. Many travelers break the journey at Bhalukpong or Tezpur. Mobile networks are weak in remote areas. Internet may also be patchy. Carry enough cash, as ATMs and UPI may not work in smaller towns and villages.

Bhutan ..you beauty !!! My first travelling experience with JustWravel was great. Overall the Bhutan trip was wonderfully organised with interesting talk on the country and history. The itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with other activities. Accomodation were good and the meals were decent as well. Also, met some great people on the trip. Our co-travellers were accomodating, helpful and thankfully had a great sense of humour. Special mention to Abhi, Trip Captain and Tashi, Tour guide for being so helpful and patient with us (specially me, during the hike). Kudos to the team. Keep doing great work and help people experience the joy of travelling.

We booked our bhutan trip with JustWravel which was our first community trip ever. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment with them. Our captain Abhi is a true rockstar and he made our trip really enjoyable and smooth. Kudos to team JW and really looking forward to more such expeditions ahead. Cheers!

Recently I travel to Thailand through Justwravel. It was a customised tour of 10 days and I must say they left no space for disappointment. All the stays were amazing. All the intercity transfers were arrange on point and hassle free. All the points mentioned to them while finalising the itinerary were covered up to the mark. I definitely look forward for more travel tours with them. You guys made our travel smooth and memorable.

I went on my first international trip through JustWravel to Maldives, and it was the amazing trip i ever had. Everything was so sorted that I just had to take care of my passport nothing else. Ankit (JustWravel) has helped me throughout the process and reminded me of all the necessary steps and documents to carry from 1 week before. Everything was well managed and they were very considerate. They kept checking in with us if we were having any issues and if we were back at home safely or not. Surely going to book next trip from JustWravel only 2) I went on leh Ladakh trip and it was my first trip with strangers. Everything was so organized and the people (especially the coordinator , captain and driver, hotel staff) were so great that I want to be with them again.It was just a fantastic experience which I will never be able to explain through words. But the team was focused on the motive that we should enjoy the trip and have good memories of it.

I recently went to Winter Spiti Valley trip with JustWravel which ended up being more as a trip with best friends. JustWravel had everything sorted for us be it transportation, safety, constant checkups, personalised care , accommodation, food and everything was super comfortable and amazing. Then it comes to the best part of this trip our trip captains - Abhishek and Ramneek He treated us like their own brother from day one and made sure all of us are having the time of our lives. They had constant checkups to ensure all of us are doing great physically. They had good knowledge about the place and shared the same with us as well. I would surely plan my next trip with JustWravel. I would like to mention an instance: I forgot my bag in the Volvo bus and there was nothing important in that bag but our captains still went out of their way to ensure that I got my bag safely.
