💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in local homestays and guesthouses in Lower Dirang (₹800-1,500 per night) instead of expensive resorts; they offer authentic experiences and support local families directly
📅 October to April is ideal when skies are crystal clear, temperatures range from 5-15°C, and apple blossoms paint the landscape white. Avoid monsoon season (June-September) when heavy rainfall makes mountain roads treacherous and visibility poor.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa as Dirang is within India. However, you need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) issued by the Arunachal Pradesh government, which can be obtained online or at entry points.
