Hotel Dirang Resort

Arunachal Pradesh


On Inspection Bungalow (IB) Rd, 200m down from New Dirang's central crossroads, this basic but welcoming hotel occupies an old-style half-timbered house with a wooden wrap-around balcony and colourful potted plants. The four wood-floored rooms are well kept; this is one of the few budget places here where you can get a good night's sleep.

Meals available.
