Arunachal Pradesh: Tawang, Bomdila

Dont book any vehicles over phone and internet. When you reach guwahati, you will get a lot of taxi operators plying passengers from Ghy to Tawang. My point of view is that they should not charge more than 2,000/ to 2500/- per day. Let me check and get back to you.

If you are travelling with your family then it is always advisable to hire the car from a responsible transporter instead of hiring the car from the taxi stand. Generally the charges for vehicle is around Rs. 2500 - Rs. 2700 on per day basis.

You can go to Tawang throughout the year although the Se La pass (on the road from Bomdila to Tawang) can occasionally get snowed down resulting in temporary road closures. It can be pretty cold - when I was there in Dec, it was sub-zero. You can drive from Tezpur in a day, but if you don't want to rush it, you can halt at either Bomdila or Dirrang, mid way.

It is a heaven on earth.The drive from Tawang to Madhuri Lake along Tawang Lhasa highway is awesome.Just ensure you have ample warm clothing, adequate spares and off course food n water with you as there was nothing once you leave Tawang(as of Oct,2007) and any glitch in your vehicle could make you to fast for the day.Remember, the altitude of Madhuri Lake is around 14800 ft, don't trust on local drivers in case of any delays.They are used to the conditions. But once the sun goes down or hides under cloud cover , it can be quite windy & temperature will go down rapidly.Oh, it is Dec, so there are chances of severe snowfall.Be in touch with Army personnel in any such event, they will secure your safety.
