About Kibithu and Kaho
The easternmost administrative circle in India, about 20 km up the Lohit from Walong on a road that ends at the army post below the McMahon Line, with the Chinese post visible across the valley. Kaho, a Meyor village of a few dozen houses just short of the line, is the last village. Permits are checked more than once, photography is restricted near the posts, and there is nowhere to stay; come up from Walong and back.
