After Breakfast check out of the hotel and proceed back to Dirang. On the way, near Jong you will visit Nuranang falls. A largely unknown and virgin place, deep in the forest of Tawang, Nuranang Falls offer a pristine and beautiful experience. One of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country, the Nuranang Falls is a beautiful white sheet of water that descends from the height of about 100 meters. Part of the Nuranang River which originates at Sela Pass, Nuranang Falls is largely unknown to the popular tourist trail making it an offbeat and tranquil spot. Popular as the BTK waterfall, the Bap Ten Kang has crystal clear water which elevates our spirits and encourages us to indulge in swimming. 
Then we continue our journey to Dirang. Dirang is a small town in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh. It is located on the bank of river Kameng (Known as Jia Bharali in Assam). Since it is on the river valley the altitude is relatively low (4900 ft). The weather here is not very cold and quite pleasant during most of the year. We visit regional apple nursery, Kiwi Farm and Dzong hot water spring. Check in to Dirang hotel.
