Posted in the topic Do I Need an Inner Line Permit to Ride Into Arunachal and Nagaland? in the forum Off-Topic DiscussionsFebruary 26, 2026 1:46 AM PST
Yes, permits are required, but the type of permit depends on your nationality. But if you are planning a North East India motorcycle tour package that includes Arunachal Pradesh or Nagaland, understanding the permit process is essential before you ride.
What Is Required for Arunachal Pradesh?
For Indian citizens, an Inner Line Permit is mandatory to enter Arunachal Pradesh.
But for foreign nationals, an Inner Line Permit does not apply. Instead, a Protected Area Permit is required. This permit must be arranged in advance and approved before entering the state. Documents such as passport copies and valid Indian visa details are required.
Popular routes in this region include Guwahati, Bhalukpong, Dirang, Tawang, Bomdila, and back to Guwahati, offering mountain roads and remote Himalayan landscapes.
What About Nagaland?
Indian citizens require an Inner Line Permit to enter Nagaland.
Foreign nationals currently do not require a Protected Area Permit for most tourist circuits, but local registration after arrival may be necessary. With proper planning, permit arrangements for a Northeast India Bike Trip are manageable, allowing you to focus on the riding experience rather than paperwork.

Posted in the topic Is Amritsar a Good Starting Point for an Indian Himalayas Tour? in the forum Off-Topic DiscussionsFebruary 24, 2026 11:13 PM PST
Yes, you can start from Amritsar, but it would be a reverse and longer route compared to the official itinerary. While many riders wish to combine a visit to the Golden Temple with their Himalayan journey, the structured plan is designed differently for better route flow and riding comfort.
The Himachal Pradesh Motorcycle Tour with Golden Temple is officially operated as a Delhi to Delhi circuit, with Amritsar included toward the end of the journey rather than the beginning.
What Route Does the Tour Actually Follow?
As per the official 9 day itinerary, the route is:
Day 01- Arrival in Delhi
Day 02 - Delhi to Kalka by train, Kalka to Dharampur by toy train, then Shimla by road
Day 03 - Shimla to Narkanda
Day 04- Narkanda to Sainj to Jalori Pass to Jibhi
Day 05 - Jibhi to Mcleodganj Dharamshala
Day 06- Dharamshala to Dalhousie
Day 07- Dalhousie to Pong Dam
Day 08- Pong Dam to Amritsar
Day 09- Amritsar to Delhi by train with Delhi city tour and departure
Why Is This Route Recommended?
This carefully designed circuit covers the Best Places to cover in Lower Himalayas Motorcycle Tour while maintaining a logical riding progression. Amritsar is part of the experience, but as a concluding highlight rather than the starting point, ensuring a balanced Himalayan ride.
