You are here  Home Arunachal Pradesh Trekking
As most of the state has been quite isolated for the past many centuries, trekking routes are still only a few. However enthusiastic adventure tours operators like us are exploring and recceing newer routes conducive for trekking. Arunachal is a laid back state with a wealth of thick evergreen forests and rivers and an amazing variety of wild life and flora. It has over 500 species of Orchids growing in its verdant woodlands while it sustains an incredible 80% of forest cover and an intricate network of rivers and streams. Tribal Holidays offer you two interesting treks in the state and provide excellent camping gear and experienced support staff including guides, cooks, and porters who looks after you with traditional hospitality.

Best Months: October-April. Flowering months: May to August
This trek traverses the old Buddhist Trail rife with Buddhist Monasteries and colourful villages of the Monpa tribe. Staring from the small town of Bomdila it heads west towards the larger Tawang town. The route winds through verdant forests of Oak, Rhododendron, and Pine affording spectacular views of the mountains. And as there is abundant water available enroute each evening you settle down into a well organised camp for the night. The trail takes you back in time and it seems as you have stepped into a time warp with Buddhism Culture as the setting. From Tawang you can extend this trip to more days by driving to Kaziranga National Park to see the One horned Rhinoceros and spend a couple of days viewing the wild life in this park.
