Pause at

Bomdila in April

The monastery ridge town on the climb.

Quick answer. A milder, festival-rich month. Highland travel is comfortable in most of the state. For Bomdila specifically, April is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why April here

Gompas, apple country and the first real mountain town on the Tawang road.

Bomdila sits at about 8,000ft on the Tawang road: the upper and lower gompas, apple-and-kiwi orchards on the slopes, and viewpoint ridges looking toward the Gorichen range. It is the classic first overnight after Tezpur and Bhalukpong.

What to do

Upper Gompa

The hilltop monastery above the town.
