Arunachal Pradesh Adventure

The Arunachal Pradesh Adventure Tour is the only truly thrilling journey you can take to the Land of Dawn-lit Mountains. That is a fact. Starting from Howrah, this 9-day trip takes you to three amazing places: Tezpur, Tawang, and Bomdila. You must know that Arunachal Pradesh is the state in the very east of India, so the sun always rises here first. It is the absolute best place for snowy mountains, Buddhist monasteries, high roads, and the beautiful culture of the local tribes.
Your journey starts in Tezpur. It is a peaceful town in Assam and the only real entrance to Arunachal Pradesh. From here, you will enter a magical land of mountains. Next, you must travel to Bomdila, a beautiful town that is very high up, at 8,000 feet. Here, you must visit the Buddhist monasteries and enjoy the best views of the Himalayan mountains. The local craft shops will show you beautiful things that the local people make by hand.
Now for the most exciting part of the trip: Tawang. It is located 10,000 feet high, near the border with China. This holy town is home to the famous Tawang Monastery. It is the biggest monastery in India and the second biggest in the whole world. That is a fact. This monastery is 400 years old. It has an amazing building and holds very important holy Buddhist books. You will cross the amazing Sela Pass. At 13,700 feet, it is one of the highest roads in India you can drive on. The pass has frozen lakes and snowy mountains all around it. You must also visit Madhuri Lake, Nuranang Waterfall, and the Jaswant Garh War Memorial.
This adventure tour package costs only ₹38,500 for each person if two people share a room. The only time to visit is from October to April when the weather is always clear. You must get a special paper called an Inner Line Permit to enter Arunachal Pradesh. This is the rule. This is the only way to experience untouched beauty, Buddhist culture, and a real Himalayan adventure in one incredible journey
