I thoroughly enjoyed reading your travelogue... Brought back many memories from the backpacking trip we did in 2012 across North-east India! Tawang will be one of the closest to my heart, as it was on the way to Tawang (sitting on top of a Tata Sumo) spotting Moon at midday brought out the writer in me.

This travelogue just came at the right time.
We planned a trip to the north-east from Jan 21 -28, 2023 but then realized that one week is a very short time to explore north-east widely and should just stick to Tawang and were a bit sad about it. Now after reading this, Tawang itself is going to be a memorable journey I believe.

One question, Jan 21 - 28 being peak winter times, can 2WD vehicles make this round trip?
My friends and I will be a group of 7 and were thinking of renting a Chevrolet Enjoy or Innova Crysta (self-drive) from Guwahati for 7 days (airport pick up and drop).
We are experienced drivers and can handle ghats, but the confusion is more regarding snowfall / 2WD capabilities.
Is this a good decision? (Definitely not a wise decision, I know that )

I am sorry for the late reply. I have a friend who arranges tours for visitors and he is very experienced with this region. I’ll inbox you his contact details. Please get in touch with him for the exact and accurate information.

I have another friend who has recently made it to Sela Pass in an alto k10. However, January end may be a different story.
