About Chayangtajo
The end of the road north from Seppa, a day of jeep travel up the Kameng valley into high hills near the Tibet border. Chayangtajo is a Nyishi and Puroik area; the Puroik are one of the smallest communities in the state, once bonded to Nyishi households and still among the poorest. There is a circuit house and no other lodging. Only for those who want to see how remote this state gets.
What to see and do
- Puroik and Nyishi villages
- The upper Kameng valley
- End of the motorable road
- High ridges near the border
Part of The Himalaya.
