Soak in

Dirang in November

Hot springs, orchards and yaks at 1,497m.

Quick answer. Late autumn. Cold nights begin at altitude; days stay clear. For Dirang specifically, November is a comfortable month with the usual hill-state caveats.

Why November here

The gentle valley stop: hot springs, apple-and-kiwi orchards, the National Yak Research Centre and Sangti nearby.

Dirang sits at about 1,497m in a sheltered valley 42km below Bomdila: the hot springs by the river, apple and kiwi orchards, the National Yak Research Centre up the slope, and the old Dirang dzong above town. The Sangti valley, a wintering site for black-necked cranes, is minutes away.
