If you’re heading straight from Itanagar, a quick pick up at Hotel Su Pinsa is handy they usually have a local driver who knows the exact turn at Mechukha. The drive via NH13 to Bomdila and then a short taxi hop is about three hours, so leaving mid morning keeps you out of the afternoon heat. If you prefer flying, Lilabari takes you a bit farther out, but the road from there to the valley is winding and adds a couple more hours. Arriving just after sunrise gives you a quieter walk and cooler temperatures.
