Foreigners require a <strong>Protected Area Permit (PAP)<\/strong>, which must be arranged through the Ministry of Home Affairs, embassies, or registered tour operators.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_How_is_the_road_from_Guwahati_to_Tawang\"><\/span>6. How is the road from Guwahati to Tawang?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The road is a mix of smooth highways and winding mountain stretches. Up to Tezpur, the highway is good, but after Bomdila, the terrain gets steep and narrow. In winter, <strong>snowfall near Sela Pass<\/strong> can make driving challenging. An SUV or high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Which_is_better_for_a_night_halt_%E2%80%94_Bomdila_or_Dirang\"><\/span>7. Which is better for a night halt \u2014 Bomdila or Dirang?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Both are popular overnight stops, but <strong>Dirang<\/strong> is often preferred. It sits at a lower altitude, making it warmer and better for acclimatization. It also offers scenic valleys, hot springs, and riverside stays. Bomdila, however, is closer to Guwahati and has more monasteries and apple orchards.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_How_do_I_get_a_Bum_La_Pass_permit\"><\/span>8. How do I get a Bum La Pass permit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bum La Pass requires a special permit in addition to ILP\/PAP. You can apply for it through the <strong>Office of the Deputy Commissioner in Tawang<\/strong> or request assistance from your hotel or a registered travel agent. Carry multiple photocopies of your permit as they are checked at army checkpoints.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_What_is_the_altitude_of_Tawang_and_will_I_face_breathing_issues\"><\/span>9. What is the altitude of Tawang, and will I face breathing issues?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tawang town is located at around <strong>10,000 ft (3,048 m)<\/strong>, while Sela Pass is at 13,700 ft. Some travelers may experience mild altitude sickness such as headache, fatigue, or shortness of breath. To avoid issues, acclimatize in Dirang or Bomdila, stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol or heavy exertion on your first day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_What_are_the_must-visit_attractions_in_Tawang\"><\/span>10. What are the must-visit attractions in Tawang?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Top attractions include the Tawang Monastery (largest in India), Bum La Pass, Nuranang Waterfall (Jung Falls), Madhuri Lake, and the Tawang War Memorial. For cultural experiences, explore local markets and try Monpa cuisine like momos and thukpa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The journey from Guwahati (Assam) to Tawang (Arunachal
