This is a suggested day-by-day plan. Timings, the order of sightseeing and hotels are confirmed with your quote.
Indian visitors need an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for Arunachal Pradesh, applied for online before travel (fees as per the rules); foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit. Mountain roads can close for landslides or snow, and travel times are approximate. Entry fees and local guides are paid locally. Bum La needs a separate army permit, issued in Tawang the day before; it is not guaranteed and the pass closes in bad weather.
