1st day- We started our journey at around 9.30am from guwahati and we reached Tezpur at 2:30 pm. Ya i know its a bit late, because one of our riders bike was facing a bit problem of Spark Plug,,,so guys whoever wants too go for a long ride always do servicing of your bikes before the journey..anyways after we reached Bhalukpong,,,we have shown our passes to enter Arunachal Pradesh, you can collect those passes from Gauhati..or you can made a fresh one in Bhalukpong also but with a bit more cash....its was 5:00 pm we started riding again after few hours of riding in dark we reached Bomdila at around 8:00 pm.
