About Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh)

Tawang is a mystical Himalayan realm nestled at 3,048 meters in the northwestern corner of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Tibet and Bhutan. Revered as the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama, Tawang is crowned by the monumental 17th-century Tawang Monastery (the second-largest Buddhist monastery in the world after Lhasa's Potala). Reached by crossing the dramatic snow-bound Sela Pass at 4,170m with its twin frozen lakes, Tawang mesmerizes with roaring waterfalls like Madhuri Lake and Nuranang Falls.
