A 7 Day Travel Guide and Itinerary for Arunachal Pradesh : Experience the Land of Dawn Lit Mountains

The land of dawn lit mountains, Arunachal Pradesh , with its vast forest cover, pristine valleys and snow capped Himalayas, is one of India’s best kept secrets. Arunachal Pradesh is located in the North Eastern tip of India and is bordered by three countries, Bhutan , China and Myanmar and two Indian states in the south, Assam and Nagaland. This state, though has gained some popularity among travellers in the recent past, owing to the famous Ziro Festival of Music , it is still far from commercialisation as compared to Himalayan destinations in the northern part of India like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

arunachal tour itinerary

Travelling to Arunachal Pradesh is about setting on an adventure in true sense where travellers encounter multiple layers of history and culture, learn to communicate straight from their hearts and learn to enjoy the wilderness. One would not find luxurious stays across the state but can expect to put up at home-stays run by locals having basic amenities where safety and hygiene is ensured. In several places, camp sites are also available where travellers could spend a night, enjoying barbecue and bonfire under starry skies.

It may be noted that Arunachal Pradesh shares its borders with China which is the primary reason why entry to the state is not kept unmonitored for travellers. There are two different processes for Indian and Foreign Nationals to obtain the entry permits, which are explained below.

  • Indian citizens are required to obtain an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Your itinerary should be finalised before you apply for the permit as the permit will be issued based on districts you mention. Please note that your itinerary must follow any of the 12 tourist circuits created by the Arunachal Pradesh Tourism Board.
  • An eILP can be acquired from this portal or it can also be obtained from Guwahati Airport.
  • You would need scanned copies of your Identity proofs and passport sized photographs to apply for the ILP.
  • The Inner Line Permit is of two kinds, one for single applicant and the other is for groups where the details of primary applicant are to be entered.
  • An ILP is issued for a maximum period of 30 days.
  • The fee is charged per person per district you are visiting. You can expect to pay a few hundred for the permit.
  • You have to enter the name and contact number of a local reference. You may speak to your homestay owners beforehand and use their reference. All of them are aware of the drill and are helpful.
  • Foreign Nationals are required to obtain a Protected Area Permit (PAP) to enter Arunachal Pradesh.
  • Even with a valid PAP, foreigners are not allowed to visit certain areas in the state. Thus, a proper research is essential.
  • Please note that your itinerary must follow any of the 12 tourist circuits created by the Arunachal Pradesh Tourism Board.
  • The PAP is to be acquired manually from the Deputy Resident Commissioner Office of Arunachal Pradesh located in Guwahati. You’d have to pay a fee of $50 in the office.
  • It is important to note that a PAP is only issued to groups, if you wish to travel throughout the state. For solo travelers, the permit is only issued to travel to Ziro Valley, Tawang and Bomdila. You may look for other group of travelers to obtain the full permit.
  • The office functions between 10am to 5pm and applications for obtaining a PAP are accepted only till 2pm.
  • A local reference and their contact number is a must. You may speak to your homestay owners beforehand and use their reference.
  • An alternative option is to apply through a travel agency to save your time and energy and in case you are unable to find a group as a solo traveler. However, expect to pay a few extra thousand rupees if you go by this process.

The best months to visit Arunachal Pradesh, and follow this 7 Day Arunachal Pradesh Itinerary,  are April-May and October-November. The weather is pleasant during these months making your travel quite comfortable.

High altitude regions like Tawang, Sela Pass etc. would be covered in snow during the winter months. So if you are comfortable to travel through spine chilling cold and fancy to see a white Arunachal, winter is your month. But make sure you check the weather forecast beforehand to avoid roadblocks or any other mishaps.

In order to make the most of your Arunachal Pradesh Sightseeing Trip, you should avoid the monsoon months that last between June to September.

  • Take a train to Guwahati.
  • From Guwahati Airport or Railway Station, head to ISBT bus depot from where you can find overnight buses to Bomdila.

  • Head to the apple orchards to take a stroll and also buy some apples for yourself.

Day 3 – Bomdila to Tawang (Explore Sela Pass and Sela Lake enroute)

This leg of the journey might not work too well if you are travelling solo. You can only stop at Sela Lake and Sela Pass if you have reserved a vehicle all for yourself, not a feasible option for a solo traveller. The cost splits in a group.

arunachal tour itinerary

There are shared sumos that cost around INR 500 till Tawang. The journey might take somewhere around 8 hours. Solo travellers can also  manage to tag along with other groups to share the costs of a reserved vehicle.

After arriving in Tawang, spend the evening walking through the mystic streets and gazing at the snowy peaks of Eastern Himalayas and sleep early to compensate for the tiring journey.

  • Dondrub Homestay
  • Hotel The Oak

The arrangement of vehicle to travel to Bum-la Pass and the various lakes must be done on this day itself so that permits can be easily obtained.

Tawang is one of those places to which photographs and words do no justice explaining the beauty. It is a remote settlement at an altitude of 305 meters, set against mighty Himalayas, dotted with glacial lakes, it is rightly known as the hidden paradise. Though situated in the extreme corner of the country, it is well developed in general. There are plenty of options to stay, many restaurants to eat at.

You can divide the two days in Tawang into nearby locations to visit, which can be covered on foot and the ones situated a bit far off, like Bum-la Pass, for which you’d require a vehicle.

arunachal tour itinerary

  • Start the day by visiting the Tawang Monastery , the biggest monastery in India and second largest in the world. A three storied monastery situated at a height of 3000 meters is no less than a scenic wonder. Explore the library the old scriptures to learn about Buddhism.
  • Head to Urgelling Gompa , a rather small but historically significant monastery which is the birthplace of the 6 th Dalai Lama.
  • Visit the Tawang War Memorial , which commemorates the martyrdom of 2140 Indian soldiers of Indo-China War. You can also check the souvenir shop beside the War Memorial.
  • In the evening, head to the cosy cafe, Dharma Coffee House and browse through their books.
  • Relish on a sumptuous dinner at Dragon  or Orange Restaurant Lounge Bar.

arunachal tour itinerary

If you wish to book a vehicle to take you to all of these places, you may opt for the same. A Tata Sumo can charge you between INR 2000-3000 for the whole day, depending on whether it is the peak season or not.

On this day, you are all set to travel to the wilderness and travel towards Bum La Pass , the Indo-China border. A Tata Sumo generally takes INR 5000 for the entire day to take you to these places. It works fine when you are travelling in a group but not for solo travelers. People traveling solo may tag along with another group at the taxi stand. Talk to the drivers or your hotel management beforehand so that they may be able to suggest you about other groups who are moving ahead on the same direction. There are bike rentals as well which is the best bet for all adrenaline junkies. However remember that the terrain is extremely rough so set out in a bike only if you are experienced enough.

arunachal tour itinerary

The Pass is historically and culturally significant as well for it is known that Dalai Lama had entered India through this Pass.

arunachal tour itinerary

Day 6 – Tawang – Bomdila – Tezpur

It is your last day in Tawang and you have to travel a long distance on Day 6 of this 7 Day Arunachal Pradesh Itinerary. Start early from Tawang so that you reach Bomdila by noon. To be on the safe side, book a seat in the shared vehicle a day earlier so that you don’t get pushed to the last seats which is very uncomfortable. The fare for a seat in Tata Sumo is INR 500 to reach Bomdila. You can stop in Bomdila for a while and have your lunch there. There are buses that start in the evening for Guwahati.

In case you do not manage to get a direct bus from Bomdila, you may break the travel at Tezpur. In that case the travel looks like this : Bomdila to Tezpur (Tata Sumo) and Tezpur to Guwahati (Bus). If you are opting for this alternative, you may spend the night in Tezpur and travel from Tezpur to Guwahati the next morning.

  • The Bhowmick’s Bunglow
  • Hotel Palazzo Prime

To be on the safe side, book a flight that is scheduled post 3pm from Guwahati. If you are taking a train, that too, should be scheduled in the second half of the day. This is to ensure that any unavoidable delay on the way from Bomdila/Tezpur to Guwahati does not affect your final leg of the journey.

Across the Gurudwara, there is a Guru Nanak Taposthan known to have impressions of Guru Nanak Ji. To enter Taposthan, you need to pass through a narrow passage in the mountain that opens into an enchanting forest by the riverside. And there is a myth that if you are a sinner, you will fail to pass the passage. After spending some time at the riverside hearing the peaceful stem of the river, head back to your stay in Mechuka.

Arunachal Pradesh: Your Ultimate Guide To 10 Days In India's Least Explored State

Photo of Adete Dahiya

Known as the “land of dawn-lit mountains”, Arunachal Pradesh – India’s northeastern-most state – is a treasure trove of natural beauty, rich cultural diversity, and ancient heritage. From picturesque mountains, unexplored passes, tranquil lakes, and mesmerising valleys, to peaceful monasteries, lush farmlands, dense forests and remote villages, the state has it all. It is known to be one of the richest biodiversity and heritage hotspots across the world.

But it is not just the natural beauty that makes Arunachal unique. It is extremely important from a geographical and political stand point as it shares a border with three of our neighbours – China Myanmar, and Bhutan. Culturally, it has the highest number of regional languages being used in any state in India and also presents an interesting overlay of Buddhism with the tribal way of life.

However, since Arunachal Pradesh isn’t the most popular destination on the tourist circuit, options for accommodation and eateries are somewhat limited. Planning in advance is essential to make the most of your trip to Arunachal. So, I’ve put together a 10-day itinerary covering some of the more popular and must-visit places in the state.

Before you go

Indian tourists require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to be able to tour around Arunachal. It can be acquired from any of the Arunachal Pradesh Houses situated in New Delhi, Kolkata, Shillong or Guwahati. At present, it is not possible to procure an ILP on arrival to Arunachal, therefore you will need to get it in advance from one of the aforementioned places. You can also apply for one online, here.

The ILP for tourists is valid for 15 days and can be extended up to a maximum of 30 days from the date of visit.

Read more about which places in India require ILPs here.

Foreign tourists require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) which can only be acquired from New Delhi or Kolkata. In Guwahati travel agents can arrange this permit for private groups of 2 or more people.

The permits will be required to be presented at official checkpoints and hotels where you are staying. It is therefore important to keep several physical copies of the permit with you.

Exploring Arunachal Pradesh

Fly down from your home city to Guwahati. Take a cab from here to Itanagar. It is an eight-hour drive and will cost about ₹3,000 by taxi.

If you want a cheaper option, you can also opt for a bus, although that will take substantially longer (11-12 hours).

Check into your hotel when you reach in the evening and spend the rest of the day relaxing. Go exploring Itanagar the next morning.

The state capital, Itanagar, gets its name from the mysterious Ita Fort, that is set atop a hill overlooking the city. In recent years, the city has seen a boom in construction and development, giving it the look and feel of a more urban destination than a remote place. However, despite being awash with concrete, this burgeoning town has not lost its character. The people are simple, yet very fashionable, and you will find great places to eat (something that is hard to do in the rest of the state).

Exploring Itanagar

Begin your tour of the city early, right after breakfast. Start your day by visiting the Ita Fort and Itanagar Wildlife Centre. Post lunch, visit the State Museum and the Itanagar Craft Centre. In the evening visit the Gompa Mandir and then head to the Ganga Lake. Head to Ganga market for some shopping and dinner.

Where to stay: Hotel Todo , Hotel SC Continental , Hotel Moomsie

Best places to eat: A number of new eateries have opened up in Itanagar in the last few years, including fast food chains like KFC. Chillies Restaurant is the best for local delicacies, while Hot Bite is a good option for those looking for familiar north Indian dishes.

Take off from Itanagar early in the morning after breakfast and drive down to Ziro. It is about 110km and a 4-hour long journey. On reaching, have your lunch and set out to explore the valley.

Exploring Ziro

Start off by visiting the Talley Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to several species of endangered animals and is most well-known for the clouded leopard. Visit a fish farm while on your way back to the accommodation in the evening.

Start your second day in Ziro by visiting the 5,000-year-old Meghna Cave Temple. Spend the afternoon trekking in Midey. On your way back from there to your accommodation, visit Ziro Puto, the place where India's first administrative centre was set up post independence.

Where to stay : Ziro doesn't have a lot of conventional hotels, so a homestay or a state-run guesthouse is your best option for getting a good accommodation. Ziro Valley Resort and Arunachal Guesthouse are good options. You can get a list of accommodation options in Ziro and their contact information here.

Where to eat: Due to lack of commercialisation, you will not find restaurant-culture to be very prevalent in Ziro. There are a few road-side stalls and dhabas serving local food. However, if you haven't acquired a taste to the local cuisine, Maggi is also served almost at all of these places. You can't however, depend on these for all your meals and your place of stay is your best bet for these.

Photo of Aalo by Adete Dahiya

From Ziro to Aalo, it is a 12-hour journey covering around 422 km. Start early in the morning from Ziro, so that you can reach Aalo by nightfall. Check into your accommodation and spend the night resting to wake up refreshed for an eventful morning.

Formerly known as Along, Aalo is the headquarter of the West Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh and makes for a great getaway for those who are looking for peace and solitude. The town is blessed with beautiful natural scenery – stunning orange gardens, swaying millet and buckwheat plantations, and serene river-side accommodations. Two rivers, Sipu and Yomgo, flowing through the heart of this town, add to its picturesque charm.

Exploring Aalo

Start off your morning by witnessing the Cable Bridge over Siom River and then arrange for river-rafting later in the morning to give your day an adventurous twist. Spend your afternoon visiting Kaza Village for an insight into local culture. In the evening, explore the Kane Wildlife Sanctuary and visit the Ramakrishna Ashram if you feel like.

Where to stay : Aalo has handful of guest houses, which offer decent services and warm hospitality. You can expect clean but small rooms with some breathtaking views. Hotel Kenjin and Hotel West are good options. You can get a list of available guesthouses and hotels in Aalo from here .

Where to eat: Again, being untouched by commercialisation, it is difficult to find restaurants in Aalo apart from the ones in hotels and resorts or roadside eateries.

Leave from Aalo, early in the morning. Pasighat is about a 3.5-hour journey from there (104km). Check into your guesthouse/hotel on reaching Pasighat later in the morning and then immediately set out to explore the town.

The headquarter of the East Siang district, Pasighat. It is set up on the banks of the Siong River and is known as the "Gateway into Arunachal,". It is the oldest town in the state. Like the rest of Arunachal, it is abundant in natural beauty, but apart from that also offers several opportunities for adventure enthusiasts with ample activities along the Siong.

Exploring Pasighat

Start off with a trek to Kekar Monying. Spend the afternoon along the Siong. You can go rafting, or just enjoy a picnic by the river-side. Nighttime is great for stargazing as the sky is exceptionally clear on non-cloudy days.

Where to stay : Pasighat, being an important entry point into Arunachal, has a few good hotels and guesthouses. The hotels in Pasighat range from moderately expensive to expensive and offer good facilities. There are a few resorts along the Siang river, a little further from Pasighat as well. Donyi Hango Eco Resort & Homestay and Serene Abode Hotel are good options. You can find more options here.

Where to eat : China Valley Restaurant and Hotel Aane are two of the most decent dine-out places in Pasighat, apart from the in-house restaurants in the hotels and resorts.

Leave Pasighat for Roing, early morning on the eighth day of your journey. It will take a good 8 hours to reach Roing, which is 307km away. You will reach by evening. Check into your hotel and spend the evening exploring nearby areas.

Roing is one of the more popular destinations in Arunachal Pradesh, especially because it packs natural beauty, archaeological wonders, and rich cultural heritage into one tiny place. You will find several lakes, ancient forts, and several tribes living together here in harmony.

Exploring Roing

Kickstart your morning by going to Mayodia Pass, 50km ahead of Roing. After coming back from there visit the Bhismaknagar Fort and then in the afternoon take a trip to Mehao Wildlife Sanctuary and Mehao Lake. In the evening, you can visit another beautiful lake – Sally lake and witness the sunset from there.

Where to stay: Roing has a number of well-maintained hotels. Sally Lake Hotel, Inspection Bungalow , and Circuit House are good accommodation options, offering guests a good view of the surroundings along with basic amenities. You can find more options here.

Where to eat: While not many, Roing does have some nice restaurants serving a variety of cuisines. You can try the Naha Canteen for budget options, or Green Park Dhaba for some north-Indian delicacies.

Head to Dibrugarh on the morning of the 10th day for your return journey back home.

Getting to Arunachal Pradesh

By air: Arunachal has three airports in the state – Ziro, Along and Tezu, but these are usually served by connecting flights from Guwahati and Kolkata. The closest airport that is well-connected to the rest of the country is Guwahati. But depending on where you're going in Arunachal, you can also take flights to Tezpur and Dibrugarh.

For this itinerary, we will use Guwahati as our base, which is 311km from Itanagar, the state capital, and is our first stop.

By train: Around 43 km from Itanagar, Harmuti railway station in Assam) is the nearest train station connecting Arunachal Pradesh to other major cities of India. From there you can take a bus or hire a cab to reach the state.

By road: The state is most accessible by road and easily approachable by all nearby states and cities. There are a number of state transport buses that run within Arunachal as well as connect it to the neighbouring states. The network of taxis is also well developed and preferred by most tourists as it is more reliable than the buses.

Getting around Arunachal Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh State Transit (APST) runs regular buses across the state, but they mostly operate in the plains because of the condition of the roads in the more remote areas. And because of the terrain, the buses can sometimes be infrequent and unreliable. The main mode of transport is shared Sumo taxis for the locals and other cabs for tourists.

The road network in Arunachal is not overly developed and it is often not possible to move directly between smaller towns and villages. You will often have to return to the plains instead of going directly from town to town.

Best time to visit Arunachal Pradesh

Because of the varied terrain, Arunachal is subject to a diverse range of weather conditions. The summers are usually warm, with temperatures going up to 35ºC, while the winters are cold and chilly with sub zero temperatures in several places. The monsoons receive a heavy dose of rainfall, so it is advisable not to visit during that time. Peak summers are from May to June, monsoons from July to September, and winters from October to February.

Spring (March-April) and autumn (early October) are usually the best times to visit as the temperature is moderate and most of the places are accessible.

Tawang Itinerary – About Tawang Valley | Tawang History

Beautiful landscape near Tawang

It is imperative to understand briefly the history of Tawang India and the legends associated with it before delving into the attractions and experiences that await you there. The origins of Tawang city date back to medieval times and are lost in the grey corridors of time.

Tawang is synonymous with the monastery that stands as its best-known icon and the history of both are inextricably linked.

Legend has it that, sometime in the latter half of the 17th century (1680-81), Merak LamaLodre Gyatso arrived from Lhasa on the instructions of the 5th Dalai Lama . His mission was to build a Buddhist monastery in the land of the Monpas . The land of the Monpa tribe stretched across what are now the districts of Tawang and West Kameng.

Merak Lama sat in deep meditation, hoping for divine guidance about where the monastery should come up. When he emerged from his meditation, he found his horse missing. He went in search of his horse and found it grazing on a beautiful and verdant hill that looked over the valley.

He found the place, perfect for a monastery, and taking this incident as a divine instruction, he decided to build the monastery there.

Tawang Monastery

In the year 1680-81, the Tawang Monastery came up , it shone like a pearl, perched on a high cliff, caressed by clouds, a truly mystical place, and the perfect abode of the spirit of Buddhism. The monastery was known as Gaden Namgyal Lhatse, which in Tibetan means, “the complete paradise of divine victory .

“ The town that came up around the monastery came to be known as Tawang , which literally translates in Tibetan as “ chosen by the horse .”

Tawang has had a chequered political history. It was under the Tibetan administration till 1950, when Tibet lost its autonomy, and became a part of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Tawang thus came under the control of the Chinese. It was in the year 1951, that India finally took control of Tawang.

However, the 1962 war with China saw Tawang fall to the Chinese forces and was in their control for a brief period before the ceasefire and withdrawal of the Chinese army. In spite of this somewhat chaotic history, Tawang is enveloped in an aura of calm and serenity and exudes a mystical charm.

10-Day To Explore The State Of Arunachal Pradesh – My Arunachal Pradesh Trip Itinerary

Umang Trivedi

  • February 27, 2024

Arunachal Pradesh itinerary

At the north-eastern tip of India, Arunachal Pradesh invites you to an abode of natural beauty, mountains, and picturesque valleys. Apart from natural beauty, the state’s uniqueness lies in its geographical boundaries. It shares its borders with China, Myanmar, and Bhutan. The rich culture of Arunachal Pradesh is very interesting. It has the highest number of regional languages used in any state of India. The state is diverse as it has the maximum tribes and Buddhist monasteries. This post explains my 10 days Arunachal Pradesh trip itinerary.

Before you reach Arunachal Pradesh, tourists require an Inner Limit Permit (ILP). The permission can be obtained from New Delhi, Kolkata, Guwahati, or Shillong. You must ensure to obtain the ILP in advance as you cannot procure the permit on the way to Arunachal Pradesh. The ILP is valid for 15 days and can be extended up to 30 days. If you are a foreign tourist, you require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP). It can be obtained from Kolkata or New Delhi.

Some of the most popular destinations of the state are Bomdila, Itanagar, Tawang, Zemithang, Ziro, Dirang, and Roing. A 10 day Arunachal Pradesh trip itinerary gives you a guide to how you can cover the most interesting places of the state in a given route. First, reach Guwahati to start your journey of Arunachal Pradesh. If you have travelled a long distance, check in a hotel for a night and rest. If you reach by afternoon, you can visit some popular nearby places in Guwahati too such as Kamakhya Temple, Assam State Museum, Nehru Park, Umananda Temple, State Zoo, etc.

Day 1 – Roadtrip To Bomdila

Traveling from Guwahati to Bomdila is 350 kilometers. You can reach Bomdila via roadways from either Tezpur or Guwahati. As the distance is large, you can take a break at Tezpur. Even the closest airport is Tezpur Airport from Bomdila. You can stay in Tezpur and take rest for a night and start your journey again from Tezpur to Bomdila. If you are staying in Tezpur for a day, you can visit places like Nameri National Park, Agnigarh, Bamuni Hills, Chitralekha Udyan, District Museum, Ouguri Hills, etc.

Local buses and shared jeeps are the popular means of transport from Tezpur every morning. They take you to either Bomdila or Dirang. The above options are suitable for budget travelers. You can also reach Bomdila hiring a private car. The distance between Tezpur and Bomdila is around 5 hours via Chariduar- Tawang Road.

After driving up to a certain distance, Bomdila is the best discovered on foot up and down strolling on the roads or steep staircases. When you reach Bomdila, you can explore a lot of local food such as thukpa, momos, and noodles. Some of the famous restaurants of Bomdila are such as Silver Oaks, Tsepal Yongjam and Dragon. Check-in the hotel and take a rest. Be ready with your DSLR in the morning to cover one of the most photographic places in the state.

Day 2 Visit Bomdila Monastery

Bomdila is one of the favorite tourist destinations of Arunachal Pradesh. A home to Monpa, Miji, Sherdukpen, Aka, and Bogun tribes, Bomdila is a nature’s lover delight. Set in lofty ranges of eastern Himalayas, Bomdila is enveloped with scenic environments of Buddhist monasteries and apple orchids. Packed with snow-clad Himalayan peaks, flower-laden valleys, and lush forests, Bomdila offers an unmatched hiking adventure. The great views of Bomdila are the Kangto and Gorichen Peaks, the highest peaks in the State.

The best time to visit Bomdila is between April and October. Start your day with the biggest attraction in the area, Bomdila Monastery. Inaugurated in 1965 by the Buddhist monks and Llamas, the monastery has three parts, Upper Gompa, Middle Gompa and Lower Gompa. You can attend the prayer in a large hall. Visiting the monastery makes you feel spiritually strong

Upper Gompa is located on a steep hill. In the premises, there is a prayer hall, Buddha Temple and a monk school. The Bomdila Monastery is the most popular destination in the town. If you are not tired, you can go trekking to RR hill which is the highest point of Bomdila. You can explore the breathtaking views of Tibet and Bhutan landscapes. Some other attractions are Kameng River, Bomdila Apple Orchards, and Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary.

Bomdila is not a destination that you can cover in a day. To explore the town, plan to stay at least three days in Bomdila.
