Day-27 (Dec-25, Sun): Departing from Guwahati.
My onward and return journey tickets are already booked as per the schedule mentioned above. Between these days, I am free do anything I like.
Based on backpackers’ reports, I understand that shared transport is not available on all the days to travel to and from Pasighat, Along, Machuka and Ziro. Hence I kept 4 to 5 buffer days in my itinerary. In case I gain some days from these buffer days. I want to spend some time in Daporijo and I want to cover Shillong and Cherrapunji /Mawsynram.
Please advise me, If I am missing something or giving more time for some sectors. Thank you in advance! |
