About This Ride

What makes this route special

Tawang sits in the far northwest corner of Arunachal Pradesh, sharing a border with China and Bhutan, and the road to get there is half the attraction. From Guwahati you climb through Assam's tea gardens into the forests of Arunachal, through Bomdila's chortens, over the dramatic Sela Pass at 13,700 ft (where the wind can knock you sideways), and finally into Tawang โ€” a town of monks, prayer flags, and a 400-year-old monastery that sits above the clouds. This is one of India's most underrated motorcycle routes and one of its most emotionally powerful. Permit required (Inner Line Permit) โ€” we handle it.

โœ“Sela Pass at 13,700 ft โ€” frozen lake and war memorial
โœ“Tawang Monastery โ€” India's largest Buddhist monastery
โœ“Madhuri Lake (also called Shungatser Lake)
โœ“Jaswant Garh war memorial
โœ“Bomdila Monastery
โœ“Bhalukpong โ€” Arunachal's entry gate on the Kameng River
