Arunachal Pradesh · Sela Pass · hill-ready only
Car rental in Tawang with driver
Tawang sits at 3,048 m behind Sela Pass at 4,170 m. Only hill-ready vehicles go up, the road closes on heavy snow days, and the driver matters more here than anywhere else we operate.

Local knowledge
Sela Pass decides your itinerary, not your booking
Sela Pass closes on heavy snow days, usually somewhere between late December and February, and the decision is taken that morning by the army. When it shuts we hold you at Dirang and re-sequence the trip rather than cancel it. Build a buffer night in if your dates fall in winter.
Altitude is the other constraint. Tawang is 3,048 m and Sela is 4,170 m, and clients who climb from Tezpur in one day feel it. We plan a Dirang night on the way up as standard and carry an oxygen cylinder in the vehicle.

FAQ
Tawang questions
No. We do not send sedans past Bhalukpong. The gradient, the surface and the altitude all argue against it, and a breakdown on that road is a serious problem, not an inconvenience.
