The driver from Guwahati to Dirang takes you through the golden paddy fields of Assam and numerous small towns and villages of the country-side Assam. Soon after entering Arunachal Pradesh and a short lunch break, we stop by the beautiful Gyuto monastery and spend some time exploring it. From there, we resume our drive to the gorgeous Dirang valley. For the night, we stay at a lovely tribal homestay overlooking the Dirang valley.

- Today is going to be one of the most exciting days of the trip. You will be crossing the mighty Sela Pass on your way to Tawang. Not to mention the numerous war memorials that you will be visiting on the way. Visit & pay your respect to the fallen heroes of our country before heading ahead and gawking at the beauty of the mesmerizing Sela lake.

The drive will be through what was once a battlefield. The scars of the war can be seen scattered all around in the form of abandoned Army bunkers. While Bum La & the Sangestar lake themselves are beautiful, they are not the only highlight of the day. The entire drive is gorgeous, to say the least, something that cannot be put to words.
