Arunachal Pradesh surely is one of the best trips I have been on. I really enjoyed all the places that were part of the itinerary. The experiences at Sela Pass, Bum La Pass is something that I will never forget. It was also nice to visit all the war memorials and to know about the brave stories of the Indian Army. It is a well planned and executed trip with the right number of breaks on the long journey days. The stay at Wild Mahseer was the best in the trip. And as usual WOW nailed it with an amazing local guide Deep. Right from flight confirmations to reaching out to us before the trip to prepare us to bring all the required things to the trip to everything Namra have done in the trip. She was also prepared with any kind of medication that people might require during the trip which was very helpful. — **Monisha Victor**, Software Engineer ## Booking Policies ### Early Bird Offers Get an Early Bird ticket with discounts.
