Arunachal Pradesh is not only North East India's largest and most remote state but is also one of the least densely populated. Stretching from the foothills of the eastern Himalayas to the mountainous peaks of the north, the state has a truly rich tribal heritage with strong links to neighbouring Burma. Starting in neighbouring Assam, this itinerary combines staggering scenery and the wonderful national parks of Kaziranga and Dibru Saikhowa with the tea estates of Dibrugarh and the villages of Wakro and Roing - heartland of the Mishmi tribe and setting for the colourful Reh Festival.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Hosting two-thirds of the world’s population of one-horned rhinos, Kaziranga National Park consists of elephant grass and marshlands, ideal for buffalo, deer and rare birds.
Known as the ‘tea city’ of India, Dibrugarh is the centre of the Upper Assam region. Take time to explore one of the estates and enjoy learning about the tea-producing process.
Roing in the Lower Dibang Valley, is the home of the Idu Mishmi and Adi tribes. This pleasant town surrounded by high mountains and rivers is the setting for the renowned Reh Festival.
