Hawa Camp
Hawa Camp is a breathtaking stopover located on the road leading from Tezu to Hayuliang. This spot is renowned among nature lovers for providing one of the most magnificent panoramic views of the entire Lohit Valley. As you stand on the edge of the camp, the vast expanse of the Lohit River snaking through the plains below creates a visual masterpiece that is hard to forget. The camp is perched at a strategic elevation where the air is noticeably cooler and the silence of the mountains is only broken by the whistling wind. It serves as a natural balcony for those who wish to see the sheer scale of the Eastern Himalayas. Many travelers use this as a resting point to rejuvenate their senses before continuing their journey deeper into the Anjaw district. The surrounding vegetation is lush and remains green throughout the year, offering a stark contrast to the blue waters of the river seen in the distance. It is not just a viewpoint but an experience of feeling the raw pulse of Arunachal Pradesh. The mist often rolls in during the early hours, covering the valley in a white blanket, which gradually clears to reveal the shimmering river. This transition is a sight to behold and makes Hawa Camp a top-tier destination for any itinerary starting from Tezu.
