Eastern Himalaya · Private Journey
A private Arunachal Pradesh tour package with Living Roots moves beyond sightseeing into the cultural landscapes of Tawang, Ziro, Daporijo, Aalo, Pasighat, Eaglenest and the Eastern Himalayas.
Route Focus
The classic western Arunachal route includes Bomdila, Dirang, Sela Pass and Tawang Monastery, with time for Monpa villages and mountain landscapes.
For travellers seeking indigenous culture, we design journeys through Apatani, Galo and Adi regions with village walks, hearth conversations and respectful homestays.
Arunachal Pradesh is one of Asia's richest birding regions, with Eaglenest, Pakke, Mishmi Hills and Namdapha offering rare Himalayan and rainforest species.
Sample Pace
Begin from Guwahati, Tezpur or Dibrugarh depending on the chosen route and permits.
Travel through Tawang and Dirang, or Ziro, Daporijo, Aalo and Pasighat for a cultural route.
Add birding, village stays, monastery mornings or Brahmaputra-side returns based on your pace.
Traveller Questions
Plan at least 9–12 days for Tawang or Ziro, and 14–16 days for a deeper route combining multiple cultural regions.
Yes. Indian travellers need an Inner Line Permit and foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit. We arrange these for confirmed journeys.
Tawang is best for monasteries and Himalayan scenery; Ziro is best for Apatani culture, rice valleys and slower village experiences.
