The Guwahati–Tawang road trip

Tawang is one of India’s most spectacular road journeys. From Guwahati the route crosses the Brahmaputra plains to Tezpur, enters Arunachal Pradesh at Bhalukpong, then climbs through Tenga, Bomdila and Dirang before crossing Sela Pass at about 13,700 ft. The full journey is roughly 500 km and is done over two days with an overnight halt at Dirang or Bomdila.

Permits

Indian citizens need an Arunachal Pradesh Inner Line Permit (ILP), available online.
Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit (PAP).
Bumla Pass needs a separate permit obtained in Tawang; local taxis may be mandatory on that stretch.

Why choose an experienced Tawang driver

Weather on Sela Pass changes quickly, and landslides can affect the road in the monsoon. Our drivers run this route regularly, plan safe overnight halts and keep you informed about road conditions. We recommend an Innova Crysta or SUV for this trip.
