Arunachal Pradesh Tour

After breakfast, leave Pasighat and head towards Aalo. The confluence of the rivers Sipu and Yomgo lies at Along/Aalo. People of the Galo tribe and some parts of the Adi tribe inhabit the town of Aalo.

Mechuka La hike: You can climb the Menchuka La mountain for unrivaled views. It will require a couple of hours to get to the top.
Yarlung Army Camp: You can visit the Yarlung Camp and meet the brave hearts who have been protecting our country.
Lord Hanuman temple: As you travel towards Yarlung Army Camp, you can stop at a small Hanuman temple, across from where you can find a naturally carved face of Lord Hanuman on a rugged mountain cliff.
Gurdwara and Taposthan: There is a Gurdwara maintained by the Indian army and a sacred cave that is dedicated to Guru Nanak Ji on the way to Yarlung Army Camp.
Dorjeeling Village: This small beautiful village is situated approx 5 km from Mechuka town and has scenic mountain views.
It is impossible to enjoy all these things in one day, so we will stay in Mechuka for the next three days to do these things.

On our first day in Majestic Mechuka, we will climb the epic mountain Mechuka La. It will take a few hours to get to the top of the cliff. You can take some food with you and enjoy it on the top by watching the gorgeous view of Mechuka and the surroundings of snow-capped peaks. The total hike duration may lie between 4 to 6 hours, depending on how quickly you complete it.

Spend the rest of the day interacting with the local peoples of Mechuka and learning new things about the area. You will find that the majority of the individuals belong to the Memba tribe and a Tibeto-mongloid ethnic group that follows Buddhism.

On the next day in Mechuka, we will brace towards the Yarlung Army Camp. It is the final point before the Indo-china border where civilians are permitted to enter without any special permission. Here you can meet the Indian army and hear brave stories about them.
Note: Taking photos and shooting videos is restricted in the area.
On the back way from Yarlung camp, we can stop at a small Hanuman temple. Here you can find the naturally carved face of Lord Hanuman on a rugged mountain cliff.
Thenceforth, drive to the Gurudwara to pay your regards. This Gurudwara has a prayer hall, Langar, and a museum. It was established and managed by an Indian army to commemorate the visit of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji on his journey to Tibet between 1516-1517.
Across the Gurudwara, there is a Guru Nanak Taposthan known to have impressions of Guru Nanak Ji. To enter Taposthan, you need to pass through a narrow passage in the mountain that opens into an enchanting forest by the riverside. And there is a myth that if you are a sinner, you will fail to pass the passage. After spending some time at the riverside hearing the peaceful stem of the river, head back to your stay in Mechuka.

Located crossing the Yargepchu River is the Dorjeeling Village, which has scenic mountain views. It will roughly take 20 to 30 minutes to reach Dorjeeling from Mechuka. Truthfully, it is not a tourist destination. However, it has various picturesque scenes with hanging bridges and a small Monastery.
Travel from Mechuka to Dorjeeling village
Here we will end our Mechuka tour and set back to Aalo. After reaching Aalo, have a good sleep because the next day is the travel day.

Get up early, and get ready for a long travel to Dambuk. From Aalo head towards Pasighat. Rest here for a while, and again buckle up to travel to Dambuk.
The drive from Pasighat to Dambuk is the most adventurous, as we will be not driving on the road but across a dry river bed. The total drive time from Aalo to Damuk would be of 6 hours.

Dambuk is almost at the end of east India, the sun usually sets down between 4:30 to 5 pm. So you have no option other than finding a nice place to stay.
