Travel creator Reet Jakharia has pushed the Dirang-to-Mago road via Jung in Arunachal Pradesh as a rival to Ladakh and Spiti, minus the crowds. The seven-to-nine-hour drive climbs to Sela Pass (over 13,000 feet), passes Jung Waterfall, and reaches Mago, which Jakharia calls a biker's paradise. Attractions like Gongkar La Lake need no trekking, making the route family-friendly, Times Now reports. Travellers must obtain an Inner Line Permit beforehand and check monsoon road conditions.
