Anini Road Trip Itinerary: 6 Days from Dibrugarh through Roing, Mayodia Pass, and Dibang Valley

Permits, Road Conditions & Best Time

Before you hit the gas on your Dibang Valley road trip, let’s break down a few important points you must prepare beforehand.

Inner Line Permit (ILP)

Every Indian traveller needs an inner line permit to enter Arunachal Pradesh. This permit protects tribal culture in the region. You can apply for your Arunachal Pradesh ILP online or at state offices.

Make sure your government ID copies are arranged before starting your tour. When booking an Anini tour package, the team usually handles this inner line permit for you.

Anini Road Conditions & Vehicle Choice

You will experience different types of roads on this scenic drive. The route from Dibrugarh to Roing town is smooth. However, Anini road conditions can be rough and unpredictable after Roing.

A sturdy 4x4 or high-clearance SUV is highly recommended for the Dibrugarh to Anini road trip. Landslides can happen, so drive carefully.

Best Time to Visit Anini

The best time to visit Anini is between November and April. Winter brings cold weather and crisp blue skies. You can also spot snow-capped peaks all around. Spring brings blooming flowers and lush rolling hills. Avoid heavy monsoon months because mountain roads can get blocked easily.
