Shergaon–Shangti with River Trek
Shangti Valley\'s sheep farm, the crystal-clear Phudung river, a mountain pass into Shergaon\'s apple country, and a brief walk into Bhutan on the way home. Four days that pack in everything West Kameng has to offer.
Four days. Every corner of West Kameng.
Bhisum Phudung — the river that stops you in your tracks
Crystal-clear waters over smooth boulders. Absolute silence except for flowing water. The Phudung river on Day 2 is the kind of place you describe badly to people who weren\'t there — and they still don\'t believe you.
Bomdila / Mandala Pass — crossing between two worlds
Day 3 takes you over a high pass from Shangti Valley into Shergaon\'s ridge country. The drive itself is one of the best things on this itinerary — the landscape shifts completely as you cross, from river valley to apple orchard hillside.
Bhairabkund — ending the trip at the edge of three countries
The final morning takes you to the tri-junction of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan. A hanging bridge, a local Bhutanese market, and the sacred Brahmaputra headwaters. The best possible final stop before the drive home.
Four days, beautifully assembled.

Your questions, answered.
Do I need an Inner Line Permit (ILP)?
Yes — Arunachal Pradesh requires an ILP for all non-residents. We arrange this entirely on your behalf. Share your Aadhaar Card or Passport details at least 7 days before departure. ILP fees are fully included in all package prices. Foreign nationals require a Protected Area Permit (PAP) — please inform us when booking.
How does this tour differ from the 3-day Shangti River Trek?
The 3-day Shangti River Trek (3DSRT) covers Guwahati → Shangti, the Phudung Trek, and returns. This 4-day tour (4DSSRT) continues from Shangti over a mountain pass into Shergaon on Day 3, with a farmhouse stay and Choskorong Falls hike, then returns via Bhairabkund and the Bhutan walk on Day 4. It is the more complete West Kameng circuit.
Is the Phudung River Trek suitable for beginners?
Yes — the Bhisum Phudung trek is a moderate walk on smooth boulders alongside and across the river. Basic fitness and good grip footwear are sufficient. No prior trekking experience needed. The guide handles everything.
Can I actually enter Bhutan on Day 4?
Yes — Bhairabkund is the tri-junction of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan. Indian nationals can briefly cross into Bhutan for a local market visit and the hanging bridge walk without a visa. Foreign nationals should check current crossing rules with us before booking.
What\'s not included — lunch and dinner?
Breakfast is included for all 3 mornings. Lunch and dinner are not included. Budget approximately ₹300–500 per person per day. Your guide will recommend the best local options along the route.
What should I carry for 4 days?
Pack for varied conditions — river walk on Day 2 needs grip shoes and quick-dry clothes. Shergaon evenings are cool so bring warm layers. A light waterproof jacket is useful throughout. Carry a rucksack or mid-size trolley — luggage may need to be moved at certain points. We provide a first-aid kit.
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, no refund will be given. We strongly recommend travel insurance for trip cancellation coverage.
Can children travel on this tour?
Yes — children can comfortably do this tour. The river trek is gentle enough for older children in good health. Infants aged 1–5 years travel free. Two children aged 5–12 years are counted as one adult for pricing. Please mention children\'s ages and any health conditions when booking.
