Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) in Guwahati, Assam is the nearest airport. Lumdung Valley is 380 kilometers (ten hours) away from the airport.
Naharlagun is the closest helipad (Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh). Lumdung Valley is 200 kilometers (5 hours) away from the helipad.

By train
The nearest railway station is Naharlagun (NHLN) Northeast Frontier Railway Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, which is 190 kilometers (4:30 hours drive) from Lumdung Valley.

Most of the places in the East Kameng District are accessible by car. Seppa is connected by road and air to the capital, Itanagar, and the neighboring state of Assam.
Seppa can be reached by bus, private vehicle, or taxi from Itanagar and Tezpur in Assam. There are two (2) routes from Itanagar to Seppa: one via Bhalukpong (430km) and one via Sagali (210km).
Despite being longer, the first is preferable to the latter. Due to landslides, the latter is nearly impossible to travel during the rainy season. The distance from Tezpur is 220 kilometers.
Paragliding in Mechuka
Mechuka is a small picturesque valley in Arunachal Pradesh's West Siang district that is nearly 6000 feet above sea level. Mechuka is a very less explored place and Paragliding is one of the best things to do if you are visiting Mechuka, Arunachal Pradesh.
