IInteretsing to see Nepal from the far side of teh bridge. Nice picture.

The road before and after this bridge consisted of large potholes linked by small patches of tarmac, not really what you'd call a road. But the missing bridge was a surprise. There was a distinct lack of anything resembling government here, and of course being a National Highway its maintenance would be administered from Delhi and not at state level. At the current rate, the bridge will take years to repair. But I know that British road users do seem to moan about the smallest surface defect.

:-) Thanx. The station lays claim to being the second highest station in Sri Lanka! Quaint isn't it.

bcnSunny. Let us leave that argument now. I'd like to share a video of a motorcycle ride some Indian's made into this territory. You can see it at www.60kph.com. Gaurav Jani from Mumbai ride through Arunachal and documented his journey. It's such a nice movie.

Jeff Hi. I'd like to ask about the road you took in this region. I'm planning to ride a motorcycle from the main highway G318, east towards Dinggye. I wonder if you travelled this route and can tell me about the condition of the road? Peter@freespiritadventure.com. Many thanks Peter.

This is the last bridge across the Siang River. Locals told me there was a road to Tuting over 100kms further north up the river, but that the culverts and bridges had not yet been built.
I was on an extended motorcycle Tour of NE India having ridden out of Delhi, nearly 4000kms away.

I was on a day ride from Along to Yingkiong. My objective was to follow the Siang River as far north as I could in 1 day.
I was at the end of a month long motorcycle tour of the North Eastern States of India.
