Overview

Arunachal Pradesh, the "Land of the Dawn-Lit Mountains," is India’s ultimate wild frontier, tracing the snow-bound peaks of the Eastern Himalayas. Home to the towering, 400-year-old Tawang Monastery (the largest in India), this majestic region features alpine wonderland passes like Sela Pass at 13,700 feet. Travel down into the pine-fringed plateau of Ziro Valley, a UNESCO heritage contender, to interact with the unique, ecosystem-venerating Apatani tribe. Arunachal offers raw, untamed Himalayan adventure and rich Buddhist mysticism.
