Today's travel: from Dirang to Tawang (about 136 km, 2 hrs 45 min). Climb through Baisakhi to the snow at Sela Pass (4,170 m) and the frozen Sela lake, if the old road over the pass is open; otherwise the Sela tunnel takes you through.

Day 4

Tawang Monastery and town

Visit the Tawang Monastery, the largest in India, with its museum and the giant Buddha in the prayer hall; morning prayers are the best time.

Day 5

Bumla Pass and Sangetsar Lake

Drive up the army road to Bumla Pass at about 4,600 m on the border with Tibet, through a landscape of snowfields and frozen lakes, and return via Sangetsar (Madhuri) lake. If snow closes the road, spend the day at Pankang Teng Tso lake and the craft centre in Tawang instead. Overnight stay in Tawang.

  1. 1

    The border pass at about 4,600 m, deep in snow in winter; permit needed, Indians only.

  1. 1

    Tezpur

    The town on the Brahmaputra where the road from Arunachal meets the Assam plains.

Tour Overview

The road to Tawang climbs from the Assam plains to the 4,170 m Sela Pass and down into a high valley of monasteries and prayer flags. In winter Sela, Tawang and the Bumla border pass turn white, and this trip is built around those snow days.

Snowfall Tour: Late Dec 2026 – Feb 2027 (snowfall season)

From late December to February the passes of western Arunachal get regular snowfall. Sela lake freezes, the slopes around Tawang turn white, and black-necked cranes winter in the Sangti valley near Dirang. Snow can close Sela or Bumla for a day at a time, so the plan has spare time in Dirang and Tawang to wait out a closure.

This 7-day, 6-night package starts and ends in Guwahati. The route runs Guwahati → Tezpur → Dirang → Tawang → Bomdila → Guwahati, about 931 km in all. Choose how you travel: cab or bus. Every price includes 3-star hotels with breakfast and all sightseeing transport.
