Very close to Bhutan! West Bengal to Darjeeling
In West Bengal we were surrounded by forrest and close to tiger reserves. We skirted the border or Bhutan and took a side road up to Darjeeling

Transport from Tawang Traversing lower Assam
Assam was hot and hectic. We decided to push up the speed and enjoy the flat plains as long as they would last. Also we cycled through beautiful tea estates and village area.

Crossing the river Jang to Tawang
From Jang it was a short push to Tawang town. We visited Nuranang waterfall and made it all the way up to hillstation Tawang and beautiful and interesting Tawang Monastery.

Trying on local Monpa clothing Bomdila to Jang
Down to Dirang, up to Sange along multiple switchbacks, even more up and over Sela pass with hail coming down and won the other side to Jang in Tawang valley.

Give me the camera :) Rilloh to Bomdila
The last section to Seppa and then along the mainroad up and up until we reached Bomdila. There was a Tibetan Buddhist presence on the road and the scenery changed from jungle to pine.

Jungle roads near Kheel Ziro to Rilloh
We left the Apatani tribe and Ziro valley behind, cycled down, had a lot of rain, muddy roads, new roads and made it over a small jungle pass to Rilloh.

Local women with rainprotection Daporijo to Ziro
In Daporijo we saw local culture, we cycled up the mountain and were surrounded by village life. We crossed a river, an 1800m pass and dropped down to Zero, the most known Apitani village.

Saying goodbyes Dibrugarh to Dumparijo
Crossing the Brahmaputra and starting our Arunachal Pradesh adventure from Likabali. We are hosted by lovely family and cycle amid lush green jungle.

Burning land Zunheboto to Dibrugarh
The last meters to Mokokchung which we reach by night. From there we will leave Nagaland and reach Assam, the flat plains and Dibrugarh.

Morning view Cheteba Nagaland Cheteba to Zunheboto
Small mountain roads and villages surrounded us. The road was rough and tough. We stayed in Satakha and reached Zunheboto.

Kohima Project 72hrs Nagaland Kohima to Cheteba
We visited Kohima market where they sell dog. We cycled in the heart of Nagaland where villages are only on the top of the hills. We crossed two rivers and made it almost up the pass in Cheteba.

Hills of Naga Land Nagaland to Kohima
We were excited to be reaching Kohima, visiting Khonoma village and learning more about Nagaland

EMA market Imphal End of Manipur
Departing Imphal, leaving the Manipur state and entering Nagaland
