“The mountains are calling, and I must go”these words continue to echo inside of me. Mountains have that unexplainable aura. Even after multiple getaways, that irresistible urge to escape to the mountains unfailingly and religiously crops up. In 2023, this led us to materialize the plan to another gem of Northeast – Arunachal Pradesh. Northeast has been our heart, ever since we traveled to Sikkim in 2019. So zeroing down on Arunachal was not difficult.
The most exciting part of any trip is deciding and preparing for the same. I happened to stumble upon a travel organisation called WanderOn. Upon contacting them, Jibon from their team helped me in customising the entire itinerary to Arunachal- the west side. Our trip was 9 days and 8 nights in the month of May. One of the favourable times to visit there is summer. The weather is usually pleasant, but you may never know; mountains are unpredictable, so expect the unexpected! Also before we begin this journey, a special mention to the Operations team, especially Rahul, who took care of the Inner Line Permits (which are required to enter some areas of the state), our vehicle preference. The way he explained to us vividly about our destination, provided inputs about accommodation, network connectivity, packing essentials and weather, providing us with every necessary information for an amazing trip.
And, with this, our Arunachal escapade began!
