Mechuka to Manigong Trek
A remote frontier trek from Mechuka to Manigong — one of India's last villages before the Tibet/China border. This 4-day expedition follows the Siang River through pristine forests, crosses rivers, and passes through Memba tribal villages that have barely changed in centuries. With views of the China border and a landscape that feels like the edge of the world, this is one of India's most adventurous treks.
