Reach the far side at

Why December here
At 6,500ft under the eastern Himalaya: Mishmi villages, the Mipi road and big empty country.
Anini is the Dibang Valley district headquarters at about 6,500ft, the end of the official Roing-Mayudia-Anini circuit: a high valley town with Idu Mishmi villages around, the road toward Mipi, and a sense of distance almost nowhere else in the region sells.
What to do
The emptiness
Some of India’s least-densely-inhabited country.
