A peaceful lane winding through forested hills and tribal settlements links Ziro to Pasighat via Along. Highlights are dizzying suspension footbridges and thatched zemkamps chalet Adi villages around Along. Do be warned though that the attractions along this route are very low-key, the villagers around zemkamps chalet 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 zemkamps chalet Mechuka or remote eastern towns and valleys such as Tuting or the Namdapha National Park then you may find this route something of a let down.
Travelling to Dibrugarh ( tea-city zemkamps chalet ) usefully closes a loop between Kaziranga and the Ziro Along Pasighat route and is the terminus (or starting point) for the fascinating ferry ride along the Brahmaputra to Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh. Dibrugarh is a rapidly growing city with a new road and rail bridge zemkamps chalet being built at Bogibeel zemkamps chalet Ghat (originally scheduled to open in 2008, it s now unlikely to be ready for some years to come) that will extend the railway system zemkamps chalet to north of the Brahmaputra.
Khwairamband Bazaar MARKET (Ima Market; h7am-5pm) This vast all-women s market (well, we saw one male vendor perhaps appropriately he was selling headphones!) is run by some 3000 ima (mothers). Divided by a road, one side sells vegetables, fruit, fish and groceries while the other deals in household items, fabrics and pottery. It s easily one of the largest markets in the northeast.
1 Sights War Cemetery HISTORIC SITE (hdawn-dusk Mon-Sat) This immaculate War Cemetery contains the graves of 1400 British, Commonwealth and Indian soldiers. It stands at the crucially strategic junction zemkamps chalet of the Dimapur and Imphal roads, the site of intense zemkamps chalet fighting against the Japanese zemkamps chalet during a 64-day WWII battle.
