Traveller Questions

Planning details that matter.

What makes a luxury Arunachal tour different?

Boutique inventory is scarce here. We pre-secure the few heritage and design-led stays, add private naturalist guides and use heated camps where lodges don't exist.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Roads are long; altitude at Sela Pass reaches 4,170 m. We pace the route with rest days and oxygen support where required.

Do you arrange permits?

Yes. Indian travellers receive an Inner Line Permit and foreign nationals a Protected Area Permit, both arranged for confirmed bookings.
