TALLE VALLEY TREK
- Duration: 9 Nights / 10 Days
Overview
It was gently decided to move with our adventure enthusiasm from Ladakh to Arunachal covering the entire length of Himalaya that exists in India. Talle Valley trek is one of the shortest trek we offer in this state with a combination of nice hotels and homestays serving best food and local drinks.
Arunachal Pradesh
Virginal Arunachal Pradesh appears as a giant patch of green on the country’s map. India’s wildest and least explored state, Arunachal (literally the ‘land of dawn-lit mountains’) rises abruptly from the Assam plains as a mass of densely forested and impossibly steep hills, culminating in snowcapped peaks along the Tibetan border. Home to 26 indigenous tribes, Arunachal is perhaps the last sanctuary for India’s natural and anthropological heritage. Much of the state remains beyond tourism’s reach, but new areas are slowly being opened to visitors. (Explained by Lonely Planet)
