Before you travel

• Waterfall flow can be lower in winter. Allow for colder mountain conditions and route changes.
• Arrival-day sightseeing and departure-day temple visits depend on flight times. Museum visits, ferries and river cruises depend on opening schedules, water levels and availability.
• Plan permit arrangements for Arunachal in advance. The team will confirm current documents and permissions for your nationality and route. High-altitude travel needs advance planning; share relevant travel requirements before finalising the route.
• Mountain driving times can change with road and weather conditions. Confirm accommodation amenities, heating, connectivity and payment options before travel.
• An additional border excursion from Tawang requires separate permission and a locally arranged vehicle. It is not included in this itinerary; current costs and any extra day must be confirmed separately, and permissions can be withdrawn.
