BREIF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM:
AT THE START WE VISIT POBITORA: We shall first visit Pobitora Wild Life Sanctuary, located around 50 Kms from Guwahati, known for its highest density of one-horned Rhinoceros in the world. Popularly known as “mini-Kaziranga”, Pobitora was declared a sanctuary in 1987. Spread over an area of only 38 sq. Km, Pobitora may be small, but is a heavenly segment of raw wilderness and greenery. Wild Boars, Barking- Deer and Water Buffalos can easily be spotted grazing the field’s right next to the mighty rhinos. It is an important Bird Area and home for more than 2000 migratory birds and various reptiles. We shall do Elephant Safari or Jeep Safari here. From here we go to Tezpur.
Tezpur located on the banks of the river Brahmaputra in the Sonitpur district of Assam is a historical and mystique city and has many ancient and mythological artifacts. We shall visit the historical sites and enjoy the scenic beauty of the area. Night stay at Tezpur.
From Tezpur, we start our journey next morning to Bomdila then to- Tawang – Bumla Pass - Tawang – Dirang – Guwahati.
Tawang is a paradise on earth, about 10,000 feet above sea level, situated in the North Western part of Arunachal Pradesh and only 30-40 KM away from both Bhutan and China.. We shall cross the magnificent Sela Pass at an altitude of about 13,700 feet above the sea level, connecting Tawang to the rest of India. Tourism in this area is based around the unique Himalayan landscape and culture, distinct from the rest of India. We shall go to Bum La Pass which is at an altitude of 15550 feet.
