"Experience the unexplored, awe-inspiring charm of Arunachal Pradesh in this quaint hill-town. Understand the Tibetan-Buddhist elements that influence the culture, food and lifestyle here, granting it an absolutely unique flavour. A trekker's delight, Tawang will simply steal your heart away."
One of the lesser known destinations in India, this Arunachali beauty offers its visitors the best of India's North East, be it in hospitality, mind blowing locales or an unbelievably tranquil experience. Explore the Buddhist influences on the local lifestyle in Tawang in the Tawang Monastery, built in 1681 and famed for being the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama. Located at a height from Tawang is the serene P.T.Tso Lake, which remains frozen for 4 to 5 months in a year. Tawang offers a unique experience for skilled and amateur trekkers, with different trekking trails for each level of difficulty. Those with a brave heart and a strong stomach for fiery food must try the traditional Monpa cuisine, among the other Tibetan delights, that are on offer. Be sure to take an official permit, for internal security, to visit this delightful town, unexplored and completely hidden from the eyes of the general tourist crowd.
