Route
    Bomdila to Sela

Why stop
    Acclimatisation

Dirang is a low, green river valley between Bomdila and Sela Pass, and it's where we recommend most travellers spend their first night on the way to Tawang. Breaking the climb here helps your body adjust before Sela Pass.

## What to see

  * Natural hot springs by the river
  * Dirang Dzong, an old stone fort village
  * Thupsung Dhargye Ling monastery
  * Kiwi and apple orchards, and the yak research centre on the road to Sangti

Add Sangti Valley for a quiet morning walk, known for winter visits by black-necked cranes.

Distances, altitudes, timings and permit rules are approximate and can change. We confirm current conditions when you enquire.
