About Tawang – Arunachal Pradesh's Crown Jewel

Tawang is situated at an elevation of approximately 10,000 feet in the westernmost district of Arunachal Pradesh, bordering Bhutan and China. The region is deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and was historically part of the monastic estates of Tawang Monastery.

The Tawang Monastery, founded in 1680–81, is the largest Buddhist monastery in India and the second largest in the world outside Tibet. It houses over 400 monks and an extraordinary collection of ancient Buddhist scriptures, paintings, and artifacts. The monastery sits atop a hill overlooking a dramatic valley at 10,000 feet.

The drive from Guwahati to Tawang traverses some of the most breathtaking Himalayan terrain in Northeast India, including the legendary Sela Pass — a high-altitude gateway surrounded by glacial lakes and dramatic cliffs. This Arunachal Pradesh tour package ensures you experience every iconic landmark on this sacred route.
