Why December here
East Siang’s headquarters: the great river, Kekar Monying cliffs and gateways east and west.
Pasighat is the region’s oldest administrative town, on the Siang (Tsangpo-become-Brahmaputra) where it exits the gorge: Adi cultural heartland, Daying Ering wildlife sanctuary in the river, and the junction of routes to Yingkiong, Aalo and the Assam plains.
What to do
Siang ghats
The river at full Himalayan volume.
Daying Ering
