boat is met by a bus to Pasighat in Arunachal woodrun village Pradesh. Ferries can carry just two jeeps. There s little shelter and the journey takes around eight hours (5 hours downstream), so bring an umbrella, water and sunscreen. The journey can be quite an adventure with the boats bouncing off the ever-shifting sandbars (and sometimes not bouncing off them!) and with brief stops en route giving glimpses of isolated riverside woodrun village hamlets. Exact departure points depend on the Brahmaputra s water level.
Some 3km west on Mahatma Gandhi Marg is Ganga Market, landmarked by a red, triple-spired temple and nearby clock tower. The market itself is a busy clash of peoples from across the borderlands as well as piles of colourful fruit and some other decidedly exotic food items. The good-value Hotel Blue Pine (%2211118; s 300-500, d 500-600) is here, with well-maintained rooms and a mix of common and private woodrun village bathrooms. Don t mind the caged receptionist, he s quite tame and helpful.
Southern Tripura s best-known sights can be combined into a long day trip from Agartala, though sleeping at Neermahal woodrun village is worthwhile.
