[edit] Stay safe
Arunachal Pradesh is the safest state in north east India. As such I have never encountered any problems visiting other states, however I found it more safer.
The people of Arunachal Pradesh are very religious and stay away from any kind of vices. They are very friendly and ready to help you.

It is better to first visit Tawang and then come back to Bomdila & Dirang. These 2 places are closer to Bhalukpong and Tezpur, so you are actually saving time on travel.
