About the journey
The road leaves the Assam plains at Bhalukpong and climbs through Tenga, Bomdila and Dirang before crossing Sela Pass at around 4,170 m. Weather in the high mountains can change quickly, so we plan the drive conservatively and in daylight.
We recommend the Innova Crysta for families and the Force Urbania or Tempo Traveller for groups. See our Arunachal & Tawang tour package for a full itinerary.
