Sumos leave New Market at 6am for Itanagar ( 450, 12 hours) and Ziro ( 300, six hours). The bus station pictures of chalets has a lackadaisical 7am service to Along ( 150, six hours) on alternate days depending on when the bus returns from Along.

Exact departure points depend on the Brahmaputra s water level.
