The unforgettable experience of this motorbike expedition to Assam, Arunachal, Nagaland begins in Guwahati, from where you ride to Tezpur. The trip is well planned to get you adjusted to the regional weather conditions in the beginning, and rough riding on muddy sections and winding roads in the later part. Enjoy some of the best sights on this venture after arriving in the Dirang Valley. This is a popular stop for tourists, travelling between Guwahati and Tawang. The latter is also your next destination on this North East motor bike expedition. Only accessible through Sela Pass, this place is near the Indo-China border, and it features the second largest monastery in the world. On your visit to this monastery or gompa, witness the awe-inspiring murals on the walls of its dukhang or the assembly hall. Sangetsar Lake is another prominent attraction near the town of Tawang that you visit. From here, passing through Bomdila, reach Nameri. Staying in ecological tents here would be an amazing experience.    

Now, a relatively easier ride on National Highway 52, followed by tough biking through the forests of Arunachal Pradesh, leads to Ziro. While on the way to Daporijo, you may get a chance to witness the culture and heritage of the tribal people of the region. Along, near the confluence of the Siyom and Sipu Rivers is the next destination on this motorbike expedition to North East. Take the adventure to the next level by engaging in river rafting in Pasighat, the oldest town in Arunachal Pradesh. The 120-km ride from Pasighat to Roing is one of the toughest sections of this journey as it will take you on unpaved tracks, mud sections and dry river beds. Spend the next day in Chowkham, and then move to Dibrugarh with a small stop in Digboi. The latter features the oldest operational oil refinery anywhere on earth. You may just get a glimpse of the one-horned rhinoceros when you take an elephant ride in Kaziranga National Park. In the last leg of this excursion, ride to Guwahati and disperse.
