Why this trek stands out :

• It’s a perfect example of an offbeat Arunachal trek that doesn’t attract mass tourism.

• You stay in homestays or tents, experience local cuisine, and trek through untouched flora and alpine landscapes.

• It pairs beautifully with Tawang or Ziro & Meghalaya combo packages (e.g. BreakBag’s Arunachal & Meghalaya Tour Packages).

Suggested itinerary snippet :

• Day 1: Reach Aalo / Along → travel deeper toward Mechuka
