Your questions, answered.
Do I need an Inner Line Permit (ILP)?
Yes — Arunachal Pradesh requires an ILP for all non-residents. For Tawang, a Protected Area Permit (PAP) is also required. Bumla Pass requires an additional Border Area Permit. We arrange all three permits entirely on your behalf. Share your Aadhaar Card or Passport details at least 10 days before departure. All permit fees are included in the package price.
What is the difference between Deluxe and Premium stays?
Deluxe stay: well-rated guesthouses and mid-category hotels at each stop — clean, comfortable and good value. Premium stay: the best available property at each location. The itinerary, vehicle, and all inclusions are identical. Only accommodation quality differs.
How does 7TS differ from 6TS (the 6-day version)?
7TS has one extra day over 6TS. Tawang sightseeing is split across Days 4 and 5 — Day 4 covers local sights (Giant Buddha, Ani Gompa, Urgelling, market) and Day 5 is the full dedicated Bumla Pass excursion. 7TS also includes the Thembang Heritage Stone Village on Day 2, which is not in 6TS. You spend 3 nights in Tawang instead of 2.
What is Thembang Heritage Stone Village?
Thembang is a 600-year-old fortified stone village in West Kameng district, on the UNESCO tentative heritage list. It is one of the oldest living settlements in Arunachal Pradesh. Most Tawang tours do not include it.
What is Bumla Pass?
Bumla Pass at 15,200 ft is on the actual Indo-China border in Tawang district. It requires a special Border Area Permit — included in this tour. Day 5 is fully dedicated to this excursion, along with PT Tso Lake and Madhuri Lake.
What\'s not included — lunch and dinner?
Breakfast is included for all 6 mornings. Lunch and dinner are not included. Budget Rs. 400-600 per person per day. Your guide will recommend local options at each stop.
What should I pack for 7 days?
Pack for varied conditions. Shergaon evenings: cool jacket. Sela Pass and Bumla Pass: heavy layers — thermals, down jacket, gloves, wool socks, windproof outer. Waterproof jacket throughout all 7 days. Good grip shoes. Sunscreen and lip balm. Carry a rucksack or mid-size trolley.
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 this tour.
