Dec-Jan is when Mayudia 56 km above Roing takes real snow, and Reh in early February fills the valley with ritual.

Summer March to May Shoulder

March is cold and clear on the pass, but from April the Dibang valley starts raining and the road surface goes.

Monsoon June to September Do not go

Jun-Sep the Dibang basin is among India's wettest and landslides close the Mayudia road for days at a stretch.

Autumn October to November Prime time

October is drying and Mehao Lake reflects well, but the pass stays locked inside cloud most afternoons anyway.
