What is the best time to visit Tawang and Kaziranga together?

November to April is generally the best travel window for this combined trip. These months offer good conditions for exploring Tawang and visiting Kaziranga during its main safari season. December to February is ideal if you want winter landscapes and snowfall in Tawang, while March and April bring milder conditions.

Why combine Tawang and Kaziranga in one trip?

This package combines two very different experiences in a single journey, from high-altitude Himalayan landscapes and mountain passes in Tawang to wildlife safaris in the plains of Assam. It is ideal for travellers who want to experience both mountains and wildlife without planning separate trips.

Does this package include a Kaziranga jeep safari?

Yes. An early morning jeep safari in Kaziranga National Park is planned for Day 7. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but morning safaris offer good opportunities to spot one-horned rhinos, wild elephants and birdlife.

Will we definitely see rhinos in Kaziranga?

Kaziranga is famous for its one-horned rhinoceros and offers excellent opportunities for sightings. However, wildlife sightings depend on animal movement, weather and park conditions, so they cannot be guaranteed.

Is Bum La Pass always open?

No. Access to Bum La depends on weather, road conditions and local military permission. If access is not possible on the day, the sightseeing plan may need to be adjusted and alternative locations around Tawang can be explored.

Do I need permits to visit Arunachal Pradesh?

Yes. Tourists need the required permit to enter Arunachal Pradesh, and visiting Bum La Pass requires additional permission. We assist with the required permits as part of the trip arrangements.

How long are the daily drives?

Day 1 is the longest driving day at around 9 hours. Most other driving days involve approximately 4–6 hours on the road, depending on road and weather conditions. Scenic stops are included along the route where possible.

Is this Tawang and Kaziranga tour suitable for families?

Yes. The itinerary combines wildlife, monasteries, waterfalls and mountain landscapes. However, some mountain drives are long and winding, so travellers should be comfortable with extended road journeys.

Where does the tour start and end?

The tour starts with pickup from Guwahati Airport or Railway Station and ends with drop-off at Guwahati Airport or Railway Station.

Can this 7-day itinerary be customized?

Yes. We can customize the itinerary according to your travel dates, group size, accommodation preferences and places you'd like to add or remove.

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1

Guwahati to Dirang: Into the Mountains

Pickup from Guwahati Airport or Railway Station. As we leave the plains behind, the landscape gradually transforms — deep river valleys, winding forested roads, and mountain scenery appear. This is our longest drive, but the changing landscape makes every kilometer worthwhile. En route, we visit Chillipam Monastery, beautifully set on a hillside in a peaceful valley. By evening, we arrive in Dirang and check in to our stay. The rest of the evening is free to relax after the long journey. Overnight: Dirang Distance: 295 km | Travel Time: 9 hours

Day 2

Dirang to Tawang: Crossing the 13,700-Foot Sela Pass

Today brings serious altitude. After breakfast, we begin the spectacular drive toward Tawang. The route climbs steadily, with each hairpin turn bringing us higher into the Himalayas. We cross the breathtaking Sela Pass and stop at Sela Lake, surrounded by stark high-altitude landscapes. We continue through the dramatic mountain terrain and visit the historic Jaswant Garh War Memorial to pay our respects. By evening, we arrive in Tawang. Overnight: Tawang Distance: 140 km | Travel Time: 6 hours

Day 3

The Frontier: Bum La Pass & Madhuri Lake

Bundle up — today we head toward the high-altitude Indo-China border region. We navigate rugged mountain terrain to visit PTSO Lake and the picturesque Madhuri Lake (Shonga-tser Lake). We then continue to Bum La Pass to experience the frontier up close. After spending time amidst these raw, towering landscapes, we return to Tawang by evening to warm up and rest. Overnight: Tawang Distance: 85 km | Travel Time: 6 hours

Day 4

Tawang to Sangti Valley: Monasteries and Waterfalls

We start the morning with a visit to the magnificent Tawang Monastery — the largest monastery in India. Afterward, we begin our descent back toward the lower valleys. En route, we stop at the spectacular Jung (Nuranang) Falls, where water plunges powerfully into the river below. By evening, we reach Sangti Valley and check in to our stay amidst deeply tranquil, riverside surroundings. Overnight: Sangti Valley Distance: 151 km | Travel Time: 6 hours

Day 5

Sangti Valley to Jamiri: Mountain Monasteries & Valleys

After a relaxed breakfast in the valley, we visit Dirang Monastery before continuing towards Jamiri.

Day 6

Jamiri to Kaziranga: Mountains to Wildlife

After breakfast, we leave the Himalayas behind. The topography changes dramatically today as we descend from the mountains and cross back into the plains of Assam.

By evening, we reach Kaziranga National Park — a UNESCO World Heritage site and the global stronghold of the one-horned rhinoceros. We check in to our stay and prepare for tomorrow's adventure. Overnight: Kaziranga Distance: 140 km | Travel Time: 4 hours

Day 7

Kaziranga Safari & Journey Home

We wake early for a thrilling morning jeep safari inside Kaziranga National Park.
