Along with this exhilarating walk, travellers get to visit the easternmost point of the country as far as permitted for civilians. Nestled in a remote and rugged mountainous corner of Arunachal and encircled by China on one side and Myanmar on the other, the tiny settlements of Kibithoo and Kaho are the easternmost inhabited villages of India.

In addition to these lifetime experiences, the trip also includes visits to the famous Parshuram Kund, a scenic and sacred Hindu pilgrimage site and the exquisite structures of the Golden Pagoda Temple in Namsai. Starting from Dibrugarh airport in Assam and journeying across three beautiful and ethnically diverse districts, this handcrafted tour perfectly combines the elements of leisure, tribal culture and adventure to provide an unparalleled Arunachal experience.

Dong is a small picturesque village inhabited by the Meyors, just 7 km away from Walong, and is situated on the left bank of the Lohit River. Snow-capped mountains and beautiful pine forests make the place immensely inviting. This village is also one of the villages from where the earliest sunrise can be witnessed.
