Arunachal Pradesh on two wheels

Today arrive at Guwahati, the hub of North East India for our Arunachal Pradesh on Two Wheels tour.

In the afternoon after an exhaustive briefing, you can take your motorcycles out for a short ride with your escort in an effort to know the locality. Return to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

Things to Ponder: High speeding vehicles on the highways of Assam, speed breakers as you approach small villages & towns in Assam, the occasional potholes, road cracks on the bridges, monkeys lining up for food near Nameri National Park, the slippery slush near Bhalukpong, the odd villager crossing roads near the tea gardens, the dense fog near Seppa crossing Tata Sumo Taxis speeding downhill from the opposite side and off-course keep your eyes on the road, the road signs could be pretty distractive while riding!
