A peaceful lane winding chalet bamboo through forested hills and tribal settlements links Ziro to Pasighat via Along. chalet bamboo Highlights are dizzying suspension chalet bamboo footbridges and thatched Adi villages chalet bamboo around Along. Do be warned though that the attractions along this route are very low-key, the villagers around Along are much less welcoming chalet bamboo 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 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.
