the club river run The beautifully forested hills around Itanagar hide the attractive Ganga Lake (5km), a local picnic





Heritage Chang Bungalow (Mancotta Rd, Mancotta; r 6600-7150; aW), 4km from town, and Chowkidinghee Chang Bungalow (Convoy Rd; r 6600-7150; aW), 700m from the bus station. At both places, choose the upper rooms that have polished hardwood fl oorboards and a wonderful heritage feel. For either of these you must book in advance. Tea-estate tours can also be organised between April and November for guests of either bungalow.

Bodoland s Manas National Park (www.ma nas100.com; Indian/camera/video 50/50/500; foreigner/camera/video 250/500/1000; hOct- Mar) is Unesco-listed and has two ranges Bansbari and Koklabari with diff erent access points.

The beautifully forested hills around Itanagar hide the attractive Ganga Lake (5km), a local picnic the club river run spot. Further away (20km) is Poma village, which is about the closest place to town to see the traditional architecture of bamboo longhouses the club river run (although many of these are being slowly replaced with concrete box houses).
