Part of what makes Tawang one of the most rewarding places to visit is the heavy toll the journey onwards extracts.
A two-day drive from Guwahati through the Sela Pass, which at 4000 meters forms one of the highest motorable roads in the world eventually ends you up at a valley quietly nestled in the northern corners of Arunachal Pradesh. The little towns of Bomdila and Dirang make for exciting stops on the way.
