Why take a driver for Bomdila

  • After Bhalukpong it's a long mountain road with hairpins, steady altitude gain and weather that can change fast.
  • Bomdila is the natural place to acclimatise before Sela Pass; the driver knows where to stop for the night.
  • Nobody in your group has to drive, so everyone rests and sees the road.

Best time to go

March to June
Pleasant weather, clear mountain views.

Post-monsoon freshness and excellent visibility.
