It’s often said that when you reach the summit of Everest, you are only halfway there – of course you have to get down as well. After months and months of preparation, workout and hike-training regimen, shelling out a couple lakhs for the training course, the gear, the tickets, tour operators not to mention climb – glacial Khumbu Icefall, Lhotse face, South East Ridge, the South Summit, the Hillary Step and the final summit attempt where you just get to spend a few moments. But don’t you think the whole effort is worth those few moments on the top.

Hello Enrico
INDIANs and MYANMAREEs can cross the border for doing trade on specific days of the month. I have read somewhere that foreigners are allowed during the Pangsau Pass Winter Festival that takes place every year in January. During the festival foreigners can visit Nampong village, in Arunachal Pradesh’s Changlang District, that borders Myanmar. Pangsau Pass is 12 km from the check post in Nampong. However All Foreigners need a Protected Area Permits to visit Arunachal. One can obtain the Protected Area Permit from, All Indian Missions abroad, All Foreigners Regional Registration Officers (FRRO) at Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chief Immigration Officer, Chennai, Home Ministry, Govt. of India and Home Commissioner, Govt. of Arunachal Pradesh, Itanagar.

does anybody know if for foreigner it’s possible to cross the Pangsau Pass border from India to Burma with proper special permission (and hints where to get it)?

Thanks!
