Pro Tips
Travel Tips for
Your Journey
A little preparation goes a long way when travelling to this beautiful corner of Arunachal Pradesh.
Self-drive or hire an SUV from Guwahati or Tezpur for the most flexibility — mountain roads require good ground clearance.
Shared Sumo jeeps run regularly from Bomdila to Shergaon — an affordable and locally popular option.
Fill up your fuel tank at Bomdila — it's the last reliable fuel station before Shergaon.
Mobile network may be limited on mountain stretches. Download offline maps (Google Maps / Locus Map) before leaving Bomdila.
Avoid travel during heavy monsoon (June–July) if possible — road conditions on some stretches can be unpredictable. We'll advise you on current conditions.
