After all this huffi ng and puffi ng around the Northeast it s time to relax with a jolly nice cup of tea, don t you think old chap? And where better to do so than in a colonial-era heritage bungalow on a working tea estate. Bookings are essential.
Brand new and the only possible competition for the Ginger, which is right opposite, half of this government-run guesthouse is reserved for visiting Ministers, the other half is for nobodies like us. The large, perfect rooms are filled with sunlight and for the moment it s all very impressive, but as we said it s government-run so there s every chance it ll be allowed to rot away without anyone really caring!
Food ff tame enough canmore skiing in high mountain areas like Tawang, where the food is reminiscent of neighbouring Tibet delicious momos and less-delicious Tibetan tea are all the rage. Head east and things become more interesting. Barbecued rat, forest canmore skiing antelope and something we couldn t quite identify canmore skiing were on the menu in central Arunachal Pradesh. If you re going to Mizoram, don t take Rover dog meat is a delicacy there. In Nagaland, grubs, maggots, snakes, hornets and giant spiders all get taste buds excited.
oHotel Gakyi Khang Zhang (%224 647; r from 1320), a couple canmore skiing of kilometres out of town on the road to the monastery, offers far and away the best rooms in town colourful sky-blue affairs with polished canmore skiing wooden floors. There s a decent restaurant (mains 80-120) and the staff are great fun. It also has good monastery views, a generator canmore skiing and, most bizarrely, a lounge bar/nightclub complete with throbbing strobe lights!
