Trekking in Arunachal Pradesh

Bomdila-Dirang Trekking in Arunachal Pradesh is full of several ascents and descents and this trekking completes within 4 to 5 days. Leaving Lagam, climb to the crest of a ridge and turn W along the ridge to gain Saori La at 3225m. From the top, the path curves S, that keeps on going up and down along the crest of the ridge, crosses Chhandar (top) and descends to Namsu (2000m), 12km. The trail again climbs over a ridge, goes up and down to reach Khalibok and then descends steeply to Sangti (1600m), 12km. Turning sharply S from here, follow a stream and walk down to Dirang. From there take a bus to return to Bomdila.

Twang-Mago Trek is a very interesting trek of 5-6 days. The first three days from Jong to Mago pass though dense forests besides several lovely waterfalls is very exciting. Than from Tawang you have to take a bus which goes towards Se La and get off at Jong. You will see a footpath that leaves a the road heading N, crosses the Tawang Chu by a bridge, and curves NE along the Chu to reach Sho (2600m).

Go down to the bed of a stream then climb steeply to Broskar village. On the following day the trail from Broksar crosses and re crosses the Tawang Chu several times to reach Thimbu, a large village; good place to spend the night. From Thimbu walk for 1h, then turn E to enter Takar Phukpa (3220m). Continue crossing and re crossing the Tawang Chu (now called Mago Chu) several times and ascend gradually to Mago.

Last but not the least, Se La-Nurangang Trek is mainly a short trip for few days which involves crossing the 4180m high Chebra La. You have to take a bus from Tawang which goes towards Se La. It is possible to camp for the night here. Now follow the stream then cross another stream to reach Nuranang road head and from there to Tawang is a bus journey of 45km.
