Aalo in March
Arunachal Pradesh, India
March in Aalo holds February's clear skies through the first three weeks before the pre-monsoon haze sets in. Daytime climbs to 24-27C, nights 12-15C, monthly rainfall around 60-80mm with most of it after the 20th. The Yomgo turns from clear winter blue toward the brown of snowmelt by month-end — rafting season effectively closes around March 25. Mopin (the Galo agricultural new year and the state's biggest indigenous festival) falls in early April; pre-festival rice-beer brewing and bamboo work are visible across Hege and Karbak villages from the third week. The Aalo-Mechuka and Aalo-Tuting onward circuits remain motorable but landslide risk picks up after the first March showers. Apply ILP 4-5 days ahead through eilp.arunachal.gov.in.
