You'll wake up to clouds floating through your window, eat organic local food, and experience a way of life that feels decades away from modern chaos. Be prepared for unpredictable weather and occasional road blocks.
- The drive from Roing to Anini is beautiful but brutal. If you have severe motion sickness or back issues, reconsider.
- Do not expect luxury. Accommodations are basic homestays with simple amenities.
- Monsoons (June-August) mean aggressive leeches and high chances of being stranded due to landslides.
- Vegetarian food is available but options are limited to basic dal, rice, and local greens.
- Medical facilities are extremely basic. Carry a comprehensive first-aid kit and all personal meds.

Plan Your Trip
Fly into Dibrugarh Airport (Assam). From there, take a cab or bus to Roing (approx 4-5 hours). Spend the night in Roing. The next morning, take a shared Sumo or private SUV from Roing to Anini, which is a grueling but scenic 8 to 10-hour drive crossing the Mayudia Pass.
