Pasighat
Spend 1–2 days in Pasighat: a day for the Siang river sights and a half‑day for the wildlife sanctuary, then move on.
Pasighat, one of Arunachal Pradesh’s oldest towns, sits on the Siang River and offers wildlife, scenic riverbanks and cultural sites. A short stay covers the main attractions; longer trips can add nearby villages.
