Our journey begins and ends at Dibrugarh. We will start cycling from Tezu in the Lohit Valley, then climb upwards through dense forests towards the Eastern Himalayas and reach Anni on Day 7. The next day we transfer to Roing for the colorful Reh Festival and reach Dibrugarh on Day 10.

Day 3: Cycle to 40 km Camp, 40 km

The Mishmi Hills rise in glory once we leave Roing. The ascent is steep - you have to climb 1600 m to the campsite. As you climb higher, "Mithun Gates" become a common part of the landscape. Local tribesmen build these gates to prevent the mithun, domesticated bisons, from straying. Overnight in camps.

Day 4: Cycle to Hunli, 49 km

The day starts with a steady climb to Mayodia Pass. At 2743 m, this is one of the easternmost, driveable passes in the country. There might be some snow. Post the first 17 km, rest of the ride to Hunli is fairly downhill. Overnight in camps.
