Assam · where the Tawang road begins
Car rental in Tezpur with driver
Tezpur is the last proper town before the hills. Most Tawang and Bomdila trips restock here, Nameri is an hour away, and Salonibari airport makes it a shortcut for clients who do not want the Guwahati drive.

Local knowledge
Last fuel, last ATM, last easy repair before the hills
Tezpur is where a Tawang trip gets its supplies. Drivers fill up here and again at Bhalukpong, because after that the pumps are sparse and occasionally dry. If your group needs cash, medicines or a SIM top-up, this is the town to do it in.
Salonibari airport is small but useful: a client flying into Tezpur saves the 180 km Guwahati drive entirely. Flights are limited and cancel for weather, so we do not build tight onward connections off them.

FAQ
Tezpur questions
Yes, and it cuts a day off the Guwahati approach. The trade-off is flight reliability into Salonibari — we keep a Guwahati fallback in the plan for winter dates.
Attractions to visit by car from Tezpur
Bomdila Monastery
Bomdila Monastery, Gontse Gaden Rabgye Ling, was founded in 1965 as a replica of the Tsona Gontse monastery in Tibet. It's the natural first stop on the road to Tawang, with views over the Kameng hills.
Sela Pass
Sela Pass crosses the range between Dirang and Tawang at about 13,700 ft, beside a sacred lake that freezes in winter. Since the Sela Tunnel opened in 2024 you can skip it, but most travellers still drive over. Here's why and when.
Nuranang (Jang) Falls
Nuranang, or Jang Falls, is a 100-metre waterfall near Jang on the road down from Sela Pass to Tawang. It's a short detour and free to visit.
Mago Valley
Mago is a yak-herders' village at about 11,500 ft in the far east of Tawang district, with two hot springs, a river confluence and almost no tourists. Here is how to get there from Jang, the permits, the road and when to go.
Tawang War Memorial
Tawang War Memorial is a stupa-shaped memorial in town to the soldiers who died defending this sector in 1962, with their names in gold and an evening light and sound show.
Chuna Valley
Chuna is a high, open valley about 12 km above Mago in eastern Tawang, at roughly 3,900 m, with yak pastures, an army camp and the rough road on to Gongkar La. It's as remote as a Tawang trip gets.
