Reach the far side at

Anini in March

The Dibang valley’s far headquarters.

Quick answer. Spring begins. The central circuit (Tezpur-Bhalukpong-Bomdila-Dirang-Tawang, about 350km) improves as days warm. For Anini specifically, March is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why March 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.
