About This Tour

The remotest ride in India. From the Assam plains we climb into Arunachal's dense valleys — Bomdila, the apple town of Dirang, and over the 4,170-metre Sela Pass to Tawang, home to one of the largest monasteries in the world. Few riders, fewer roads, and Himalayan scenery on a scale that stops you mid-ride. Inner-line permits and paperwork handled by us.

Highlights

  • The 4,170m Sela Pass and its lake
  • The great Tawang Monastery
  • Madhuri Lake near the frontier
  • India's most remote riding
