Arunachal in July
Peak monsoon. Road closures are routine across the state and Namdapha's forest roads are impassable. The one strong draw is Dree, the Apatani agricultural festival held on 5 July in Ziro, which welcomes respectful visitors. Otherwise we suggest saving Arunachal for autumn. Leeches, mist and green paddy terraces are the reward for those who go.
