[Read the guide ](https://destinationtawang.com/journal/arunachal-pradesh-ilp-guide/) Questions ## Before you _enquire._ Why don't you show trip prices? Apart from our room tariff at Nehru Market (₹2,500 to ₹5,000 a night), every Tawang trip is different: season, group size, vehicle, route and hotels all change the cost. Instead of a generic price, we send a clear, no-obligation plan and quote for your exact dates, usually within a few hours. How do I plan a trip with you? Use the [Plan My Trip](https://destinationtawang.com/plan-your-trip/) form, message us on WhatsApp, or call 81329 71962 or 60097 88843. Tell us who's travelling, when and what you'd like to see, and we'll come back with a route, vehicle and quote. Do you provide pickup from Guwahati or Tezpur? Yes. We arrange pickups from Guwahati, Tezpur, Bhalukpong, Bomdila, Dirang and Tawang town, plus hotel pickups and drops. Do I need a permit to visit Tawang? Indian citizens from outside Arunachal Pradesh need an Inner Line Permit (ILP), which can be applied for online. Foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit. Bumla Pass and some border areas need an additional local permit, which we help you arrange in Tawang. What is the best time to visit Tawang? March to June and September to November usually bring the clearest roads and skies. December to February is snow season, but Sela and Bumla can close after heavy snowfall. See our [month-by-month guide](https://destinationtawang.com/when-to-visit-tawang/). What vehicles do you use? Innova Crysta, Scorpio N, Mahindra Xylo and Tata Sumo, chosen by group size, route, comfort and road conditions.
