Deomali
Skip Deomali unless you are a biologist or have a specific reason to visit the Rama Krishna Mission School: the village has no tourist infrastructure and the main draw is the forest itself.
Deomali is a small village in eastern Arunachal Pradesh, near the Assam border, surrounded by tropical forest with wild elephants. It has no formal sights beyond a small monastery and a missionary school. Most travellers pass through on the way to or from Tezu or Tinsukia. A half-day stop is enough if you are driving the route; there is no reason to stay overnight.
