Day 1 – Guwahati to Bomdila

Your journey into the heart of Northeast India begins early in the morning at Guwahati. After a warm meet and greet, you start a long yet beautiful drive towards Arunachal Pradesh. As the city slowly fades behind, the road opens into wide plains, flowing rivers, and green countryside. The journey is relaxed at first, giving you time to settle into the rhythm of travel.

Gradually, the scenery begins to change. The flat land gives way to gentle hills, forested stretches, and winding mountain roads. Small rivers sparkle under the sunlight, and waterfalls appear unexpectedly along the roadside. Short photo stops are taken whenever nature demands attention, making the long journey enjoyable rather than tiring.

At Bhalukpong check-post, you officially enter Arunachal Pradesh. The air becomes cooler, the surroundings quieter, and tall pine trees start lining the roads.
