The Three Valleys
From the roadside, the three valleys of Pakke-Valley, Pappu Valley, and Passa Valley are worth seeing. The beauty of the rivers is enhanced by their meandering paths. Paddy fields may be seen on both sides of the rivers. During the winter, migrating birds flock to Lumdung (Passa). During the summer, the valleys turn a beautiful shade of green.
Seppa Block is responsible for Lumdung-Pappu Valley, whereas Pakke-Kessang Block is responsible for Passa and Pakke Valley. Pakke-Kessang Block HQ is located at Pakke-Valley. Lumdung (Pappu) is 21 kilometres away, Passa (Rilloh) is 78 kilometres away, and Pakke is 140 kilometres away from Seppa, the district headquarters. Visit these sites and stay in Inspection Bungalows by renting a sumo or van. Pakke-Kessang is a chilly area, and visitors should dress warmly.
Pakhui Wildlife Sanctuary is located within the Seijosa Circle. Tezpur is 64 kilometres away, while Seppa, the district headquarters, is 225 kilometres away.

There are two (2) ways from Itanagar to Seppa: one through Bhalukpong (430km) and the other via Sagali (around 210km).
