The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Another week, another 'hidden gem' travel narrative. The stroll from Dirang to Mago is beautiful, we get that, but calling it a secret ignores how quickly these places get crowded once reels go viral. Ladakh earned its crowds over decades; Arunachal’s Inner Line Permit keeps numbers low for now. The real test: how many tourists turn up next peak season, and whether local infrastructure holds up before another spot gets hashtagged to exhaustion.
