The one and only dirt road approach to Eagle Nest WLS is from Tenga - Tenga is on the Bhalukpong -Bomdila highway to Tawang. Quote:

Almost every journey till now has involved a situation where the clutch has been under stress and was abused, this was apparent last time when it was opened up. It was burnt in places and TASS insisted on changing, but there was and there is still no telltale signs of clutch slippage as such. However, the last of mountain journeys is up for this clutch, with the clutch being stressed out to max in this Arunachal trip. It will be risk going up in the mountains with this clutch and it costs around 12k to change - If a Leh or Sikkim tour happens will change before going out. A travel on the plains can be done still.

The "walking one" most probably is the Anni Gompa [womens monastery] and for Takstang the road ends up at the monastery itself. As said, a must do road but with time in hand. It is a long and lonely journey up there. Quote:

Sure you will, and you will let me know beforehand. There's another absolutely unknown forest [other than Eagle Nest] up there on that route that needs to be driven to! Quote:
