Arunachal Pradesh Trek Overview
From the Guide: “While our first visit was exploratory, I’m so looking forward to returning to Arunachal. Simply put, no other place that offers this type of remote trekking and cultural insight into longstanding Buddhist mountain communities. Wow, what an incredible unique experience.”
Basic Information About Trek
This is a journey into a rich and little-changed Buddhist region. As we trek from village to village, we delve into a world of old “Tibet” as Arunachal has existed in uninterrupted splendor becoming governed by India in the 1960’s. Walking through Arunachal is a walk through 1950’s Tibet – stunning, remote as we visit villages with little to commerce beyond the Yak trade and agriculture.

There are certain treks that can really benefit from the support of trained guides and better logistics, the same reason why people continue to go to Peru, Kilimanjaro and Nepal with us.
