Travel Tips Of Padum Air Strip
Tourism Tips
Health & Safety:
Security and Distance: The most important tip is to NEVER attempt to enter the fenced air strip area or the All India Radio Station. Maintain a respectful and safe distance from the perimeter at all times.
Health & Safety:
Sun and Reflection: The sun is incredibly strong on the open plain. Wear a hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and sunglasses to protect against sun exposure and glare from the concrete/tarmac.
Packing:
Binoculars: Bring binoculars or a camera with a strong zoom lens to observe the facility from a distance, as you cannot get close.
Accommodation:
Stay in Padum: The area around the airstrip is not residential; there are no guesthouses. Plan to stay in Padum town, which is a short distance away.
Other:
Photography Caution: While you can photograph the landscape, do not focus excessively on security personnel, fences, or specific government infrastructure. Be discreet.
Other:
Combine the Visit: Combine the viewing with a visit to the nearby, publicly accessible Pibiting Monastery and its stupa, which offers the best overall vantage point of the plain.
Other:
Local Respect: Understand the air strip's vital role as a lifeline for the community, and treat the site with respect for its strategic and logistical importance.
Other:
Check for Convoys: The nearby roads are occasionally used by military or BRO convoys; always pull over immediately and safely to give them the right of way.
