The far headquarters of Dibang — forest roads and a thin calendar of visitors
Anini is the headquarters of Dibang Valley, reached by a long forest corridor rather than a short hill hop. The town itself is small. What you come for is the country around it — river gorges, high pasture and a sense of eastern Arunachal that the Tawang road never shows.
This is not a first Arunachal trip. Give it a week, a buffer day and a vehicle that can handle broken stretches. Monsoon is the wrong season. Winter is cold and clearer. Permits and road status should be checked before you leave the plains.
