However, winter is not the best time for a road trip to Tawang. \u00a0During winter months, starting from late December to February high snowfall in Sela Pass blocked the road transpiration and the roads would be slippery at times and vehicle tyres got stuck in snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be safe then best Time to Visit Tawang by road trip is from September to mid of December. You can also choose to travel from April and May when there is not much rainfall in this reason.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s better to avoid the monsoon season.

So it&#8217;s better to have early lunch or pack your food in the hotel.\u00a0 A\u00a0few roadside stalls are available along the road, which offers delicious Momo, Maggi or Roti Sabji etc. If you miss the roadside Dhabas, Indian Army canteen is your last rescue. One such canteen is available in the Sela Pass and Jaswant Garh. Stock up water as much as possible and drink enough water to keep yourself away from dehydration.<\/p>\n<h2>Expenses<\/h2>\n<p>The expenses depend on the kinds of hotels or lodges you choose to stay. Generally, hotels are not very costly in all the places you find accommodation between Rs 2000 \u2013 Rs 5000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Vehicle<\/h3>\n<p>Nowadays you can take any vehicle to Tawang road trip. But for safe side SUV\/ MUV is advisable or any sedan car with high GC is suitable for the road trip.<\/p>\n<h5>Precautions for vehicle:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Very few petrol pumps are available along the road so full the tank in advance at Bomdila or Dirang.<\/li>\n<li>Check the vehicle condition and tyres before starting the trip.<\/li>\n<li>Take one extra stepney for your car is most necessary to drive on rough hilly roads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s a day by day breakdown of a road trip to Tawang from Guwahati:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Day 1:\u00a0Driving from Guwahati\u00a0to Bomdila<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Driving from Guwahati to <a href=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/destinations\/Arunachal\/bomdila.php\">Bomdila<\/a> via Kalaktang takes around 10 hrs. Though there are not many eateries available on the road it\u2019s better to fill your stomach at NH 52 Dhaba in Mangaldai before entering the hills of Arunachal Pradesh.<\/p>\n<p>Today we will cover Guwahati &#8211;\u00a0 Jalukbari \u2013 Kharupetia \u2013 Mangaldai \u2013 Orang &#8211; Kalaktang &#8211;\u00a0 Shergaon \u2013 Rupa &#8211; Bomdila<\/p>\n<p>We left Guwahati at 6:00 am. Have breakfast early and drive towards Orang. This stretch of the road was not in good shape most of the road is bumpy and a lot of potholes in the road so it takes around 3 hours to reach Mangaldai. Later half of the road is quite good. Except for a few kilometres, the road is absolutely fine.<\/p>\n<p>From Orang, we take the bifurcated rode which goes to Kalaktang. \u00a0After some time we leave the plain of Assam and enter hills of Arunachal Pradesh. The weather and natural surrounding both are charming. \u00a0After driving for a few kilometres through the windy hilly roads, we started noticing prayer flags as well as scenic vegetable firms.\u00a0 At around 3 pm we reach Kalaktang.<\/p>\n<p>Crossing in white coloured limestone hills at Shergaon the mesmerizing gorges and stream of Rupa valley starting to appear. We were awestruck at the beauty of this place.<\/p>\n<p>As the sun sets in the west and the dusk covered the small town of Bomdila we reached our guesthouse. It was quite cold till then we order some Indian vegetarian dish and headed to our cosy room.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The small town of Bomdila is dotted with many hotels and homestays at a very reasonable rate.

North.\u00a0\u00a0 It is an enchanting valley that looks like a dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Where to eat<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There were very few eateries or Dhaba along the road from Bomdila to Tawang. We stop for lunch in a small roadside Dhaba. Luckily apart from Maggi other non-vegetarian food items are also available in that Dhaba. This Roadside Dhaba was surprisingly neat and clean and well decorated. Food was very simple but delicious.<\/p>\n<p>After crossing Dirang and moving through the twisty roads finally we reached Sela Pass. A proud feeling comes to our mind when we stop at Sela Pass, the high altitude motorable road in India. \u00a0It was very cold and breezing though there was not much snow at that time. We saw tints of snow in the distant hills as snowfall for the season started before 2 \u2013 3 days. We ate Momo and tea there and felt very refreshing so continue our journey. Our next stop was at Jaswant \u00a0Garh.

Personal vehicle or any other vehicle from Assam is not allowed to be taken to Bum La Pass. So we hired a local sumo. The driver was very friendly and eventually became our guide for the entire day.<\/p>\n<p>The road to Madhuri Lake and Bumla Pass was terrible. There was no sign of road in some places. There was dubious road and the almost complete stretch was bumpy. But our driver drives very tactfully and reaches the Y junction after 1 hrs and 30 minutes. After taking Army consent we got permission to visit the gorgeous Bumla Pass and stunning Madhuri Lake and\u00a0 Nagula Lake.<\/p>\n<p>Our visit to Bumla pass and the majestic lakes of Tawang spent gracefully and we returned back to Tawang in the evening.
