A peaceful lane winding through forested hills and tribal settlements links Ziro to Pasighat le masif via Along. Highlights are dizzying suspension footbridges and thatched Adi villages around Along. le masif Do be warned though that the attractions along this route are very low-key, le masif the villagers around Along are much less welcoming to foreigners (and they don t sport the Apatanis tattoos and nose plugs) and the route, le masif which involves three full days of travel, is very tiring. Unless you re going to be heading from Along to fabulous Mechuka le masif or remote eastern le masif towns and valleys such as Tuting or the Namdapha National Park then you may find this route something of a let down.
oTourist Lodge (%0369-2226373; tourist.lodgemkg@yahoo.com; r 750, without bath 400; aiW), The only place to stay worth considering is the superb Tourist Lodge, which has bright and clean rooms, excellent service and a decent restaurant serving Indian and Naga dishes.
For many a year accommodation in Mon meant the friendly, but sadly very scrappy and slightly overpriced Helsa Cottage (%9436433782; r from 1000) run by Aunty. At the time of research Aunty was about to shut the old place down and open a new (as yet unnamed) hotel near the market area. Another venture is the confusingly named Helsa Resort (%9436000028; r 1000), a couple of kilometres out of town on the road to Myanmar. It consists of four traditional thatched Konyak huts with springy bamboo le masif floors, sparse furnishings and hot water by the bucket. Its generator is a huge plus. All the accommodation options serve meals. le masif
La Villa GUESTHOUSE $ (%9435657282; jyoti24365@gmail.com; r from 300) Run by knowledgeable and keen-toplease Jyoti Naryan Sarma (who also acts as a guide), this Garamur guesthouse has three brightly painted but uninspiring rooms overlooking an open-billed stork roosting site (whose dawn chorus will do away with any need for an alarm clock).
