En route enjoy Brahmaputra plains and gradually rising foothills. Check in to your hotel in Naharlagun/Itanagar. Evening at leisure to rest or take a short walk to the local market.

Tip: Carry light snacks and water for the drive. Weather can change quickly; keep a light jacket handy.

Arrive in Hapoli / Ziro in the afternoon and check in to your homestay or eco-lodge. Evening orientation walk through Apatani villages, meet local hosts, and enjoy a traditional meal.

Note: Road conditions can vary; travel times are approximate. Homestays provide the best immersive cultural experience.
