    Heading out of congested Guwahati as daybreak, we ride east towards the rising sun on four lane national highways. Today we ride to Tezpur, a historic city lying at the north bank of the Brahmaputra. The distance for the day day is 180Km, which should be short work, taking us at the most five hours.

From here, a long descent with numerous hairpins takes us to the valley floor only to start climbing again. Situated at 10,000ft Tawang is the last proper town before Tibet in this sector. Tawang, a town famous for its Monastery which is one of the important religious centres of Tibetian Buddhism and its panoramic views of the Eastern Himalayas into Bhutan in the west and Tibet on the North. /in older times this used to be a important town due to its proximity to Tibet and Bhutan.
