Self Drive Safari (Jeep Safari)Safaris in North East India Mystic Arunachal Safari, Bomdila - Tawang
Trek Highlights  Arunachal
Pradesh has perhaps the widest diversity of habitats of any of South
Asia's major areas. The parks 1800 sq. Kms rise from 650 feet to 15,000
feet above sea level and the forest ranges from evergreen tropical
forests through mixed deciduous forest and temperate alpine forests
at the upper reaches. Hard access to this area has helped a lot in
preserving the biosphere. This also happens to be the eastern limit
of the Indian tiger.
