Starting
at the airport of Tezpur in Assam. the road passes
through low wooded slopes, about 60 kms beyond Tezpur.
Anglers and those who want a brief rest, should wait
till they encounter the broad spread of the Bharali
river as it emerges from the mountains into wooded
upper plains. On the Banks of the river, at an elevation
of 190 metres Is Tipi, a glass house with over 7,500
Orchids. From here the road is fairly steep as it
soars up to the small headquarters of the West Kameng
district. Bomdila at a height of over 2530 metre.
It has a Tourist Lodge, a Craft Centre, Apple Orchards
and Buddhist Gomphas. There are also views of Himalayan
landscapes and snow-clad ranges. Bomdila is a good
place to rest overnight.
