But the source of electricity is not good in this region and especially during the rainy season for a few months electricity is not available and they struggle a lot. The only source of power is through transmission lines are from Assam and most of the time including rivers like the Brahmaputra washes away from time to time. To visit this beautiful museum one needs to reach Roing which is almost 90 kilometers away from Dibrugarh city. The nearest railway station is in Dibrugarh city of Assam and one needs to hire a taxi or take public transport to reach Roing. Roing is a small town and the district's headquarter of Lower Dibang Valley district in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
