Arunachal in February
Still winter in the high west, with Losar, the Tibetan New Year, celebrated in Tawang in some years in February. Snow can lie on Sela and at Mayudia above Roing, which draws weekend crowds from Assam. Namdapha remains in its best dry-season window, and Ziro is cold, quiet and brown before planting. Good month for travellers who prefer empty roads and do not mind frost.
