gold river chalet A peaceful lane winding through forested hills and tribal settlements links Ziro to Pasighat via Alo





oHotel Mona Lisa (%2320416; gold river chalet Mancotta Rd; r 600-1500; a), part Africa, part Cuba and possibly even a little slice of India, is a superb gold river chalet budget hotel with character. It s set back from the main road and everything is kept ticking along smoothly thanks to the lovely old man running gold river chalet it.

A peaceful lane winding through forested hills and tribal settlements links Ziro to Pasighat via Along. Highlights are dizzying suspension footbridges and thatched Adi villages around Along. Do be warned though that the attractions along this route are very low-key, the villagers around Along are much less welcoming to foreigners (and they don t sport the Apatanis tattoos and nose plugs) and the route, which involves three full days of travel, is very tiring. Unless you re going to be heading from Along to fabulous Mechuka or remote eastern towns and valleys such as Tuting or the Namdapha gold river chalet National Park then you may find this route something of a let down.

Umananda Mandir HINDU TEMPLE (Peacock Island) The temple complex sits on a small forested river island, accessed by a 15-minute gold river chalet ride on a ferry ( 10 return, half hourly 8am to 4.30pm) gold river chalet from Kachari Ghat, which itself gold river chalet offers attractive afternoon river views. The Shiva temple, which sits atop the island, is less interesting than the boat ride out to it.
