The hardest state in the North East to travel well, and the one where we're most useful. Tawang's monastery at 10,000 feet, Bumla on the Indo-China border, and valleys like Shergaon and Sangti where the visitor count is still measured in handfuls. Everything here needs a permit; we handle them.
Getting there & permits
Overland from Guwahati via the Bhalukpong checkpost. Inner Line Permit required for all Indian visitors - we arrange it.
