Shangti Valley
& River Trek
Crystal-clear Phudung river. Smooth boulders. Absolute silence broken only by flowing water. Three days into Arunachal's most untouched corner — and back before the week ends.
Three days that feel like a lifetime.
Bhisum Phudung — India's most pristine river walk
Crystal-clear waters. Smooth boulders you can walk barefoot across. Absolute silence except for flowing water. The Phudung river is the kind of place you describe badly to people who weren't there — and they still don't believe you.
Shangti Valley — a sheep farm above the clouds
The valley hosts a government sheep farm that doubles as the most unlikely luxury viewpoint in Arunachal. Rolling meadows, pine ridges, and mountain air so clean it genuinely changes how you feel by morning.
Bhairabkund — standing at the India-Bhutan edge
On your final day, you'll visit Bhairabkund — the sacred confluence at India's border with Bhutan. Few tourists get here. The drive through Shergaon's horticulture farms is a bonus you won't have on your itinerary but will always remember.
Three days, nothing wasted.

Your questions, answered.
Do I need an Inner Line Permit (ILP)?
Yes — Arunachal Pradesh requires an ILP for all non-residents of the state. We arrange this entirely on your behalf. You just need to share your Aadhaar Card or Passport details at least 7 days before departure. ILP fees are fully included in all our package prices. Foreign nationals require a Protected Area Permit (PAP) — please inform us when booking.
Is the Phudung River Trek suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Bhisum Phudung river trek is a moderate walk rather than a technical trek. You walk alongside and across the river on smooth boulders. It requires basic fitness and good footwear — waterproof trekking shoes or sports sandals with grip are recommended. The guide handles everything; no prior trek experience is required.
What's not included — lunch and dinner?
Breakfast is included for both mornings. Lunch and dinner are not included in the package price because we want you to enjoy local food along the route at your own pace. There are good local eateries and dhabas at every stop. Budget approximately ₹300–500 per person per day for meals. Your guide will recommend the best local options at each location.
What should I carry and wear?
Carry a rucksack or mid-size trolley — you may need to transfer luggage at certain points on the route. For clothing: layered warm clothes (even in summer, Shangti Valley evenings are cool), a waterproof jacket, and good grip shoes for the river trek. Basic medications recommended. We provide a first-aid kit throughout. Do consult your physician before the trip if you have any medical conditions.
What is the cancellation policy?
If you cancel 30 or more days before the tour start date, you will receive a 50% refund of the paid amount. If you cancel within 30 days of the tour, no refund will be given. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for trip cancellation coverage — travel insurance is included in our package for medical emergencies, but trip cancellation insurance is separate and worth considering.
Can children travel on this tour?
Absolutely. The pricing structure already accounts for children: infants aged 1–5 years travel completely free of charge. Two children aged 5–12 years together are counted as one adult for pricing. The itinerary is family-friendly — the river walk can be done safely with children. Please mention children's ages when booking so we can make appropriate seating and room arrangements.
What if the itinerary changes due to weather or road conditions?
Arunachal roads can be affected by landslides, rain or political situations. Get Set Jui reserves the right to rearrange the itinerary without reducing the number of days or compromising any service. If the tour needs to be extended due to unforeseen circumstances, additional costs for stay and vehicle during the extended period are borne by the client.
