Tawang Itinerary – Places To Visit In Tawang

Tawang is a veritable smorgasbord of incredible experiences that straddle dimensions ranging from spirituality, nature, adventure, and much more. Whether you plan for a Tawang tour of 3 days, 4 days , or more, the things to do in Tawang and the places to see in Tawang and the vicinity will keep you busy. In a nutshell, Tawang is in many ways a traveller’s paradise.

Tawang Itinerary – About Tawang Valley | Tawang History

It is imperative to understand briefly the history of Tawang India and the legends associated with it before delving into the attractions and experiences that await you there. The origins of Tawang city date back to medieval times and are lost in the grey corridors of time.

Tawang is synonymous with the monastery that stands as its best-known icon and the history of both are inextricably linked.

Legend has it that, sometime in the latter half of the 17th century (1680-81), Merak LamaLodre Gyatso arrived from Lhasa on the instructions of the 5th Dalai Lama . His mission was to build a Buddhist monastery in the land of the Monpas . The land of the Monpa tribe stretched across what are now the districts of Tawang and West Kameng.

Merak Lama sat in deep meditation, hoping for divine guidance about where the monastery should come up. When he emerged from his meditation, he found his horse missing. He went in search of his horse and found it grazing on a beautiful and verdant hill that looked over the valley.

He found the place, perfect for a monastery, and taking this incident as a divine instruction, he decided to build the monastery there.

In the year 1680-81, the Tawang Monastery came up , it shone like a pearl, perched on a high cliff, caressed by clouds, a truly mystical place, and the perfect abode of the spirit of Buddhism. The monastery was known as Gaden Namgyal Lhatse, which in Tibetan means, “the complete paradise of divine victory .

“ The town that came up around the monastery came to be known as Tawang , which literally translates in Tibetan as “ chosen by the horse .”

Tawang has had a chequered political history. It was under the Tibetan administration till 1950, when Tibet lost its autonomy, and became a part of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Tawang thus came under the control of the Chinese. It was in the year 1951, that India finally took control of Tawang.

However, the 1962 war with China saw Tawang fall to the Chinese forces and was in their control for a brief period before the ceasefire and withdrawal of the Chinese army. In spite of this somewhat chaotic history, Tawang is enveloped in an aura of calm and serenity and exudes a mystical charm.

Tawang Tour 4 Days | Tawang Itinerary | Places To Visit In Tawang | Detailed Tawang Tour Itinerary | Things To Do In Tawang

Ideally, you would start your visit to Tawang from Guwahati if you are flying into Guwahati Airport as we did. In a typical itinerary, you would spend a couple of days in Bomdila and Dirang en route to Tawang from Guwahati. We spent a couple of days each in Bomdila and Dirang before proceeding to Tawang, via Sela Pass and the Jaswant Singh War Memorial.

Check out our detailed 2-Day Bomdila itinerary here .

Tawang Itinerary – Day One

On Day one of your Tawang Itinerary , you would arrive in Tawang around the evening and relax after a long drive from Bomdila/Dirang. However, it makes sense to visit one of the attractions near Tawang on your way to Tawang City, which is the spectacular Nuranang Falls. Also on the way to Tawang from Dirang, you pass through two notable landmarks, which you should stop and visit.

Sela Pass – Gateway To Tawang

The Sela Pass is known as the gateway to Tawang as it is a mountain pass that connects Tawang with West Kameng District. Sela Pass is located at an altitude of 13,700 feet . An ornate and beautiful gate, welcomes you to Tawang, at the Sela Pass.

The beautiful Sela Lake is also located by the side of the road in Sela Pass. You can stop for some time for the amazing views on a clear day and also climb up to the Buddha statue accessed by steps near the Sela Pass post.

The statue of Buddha Shakyamuni in many ways blesses travellers crossing the Sela Pass. One can also see the statues of the protector deities Palden Lhamo and Nechung and Guru Padmasambhava along with some Thangka paintings. The site has been blessed by the 14th Dalai Lama, and has been built and maintained by the Monpas of Tawang.

Jaswant Garh War Memorial – Requiem For A Rifleman

Nuranang Falls – Day 1 Of Your Tawang Itinerary

Feasting your eyes on the beauty of the  Nuranang Falls is one of the most pleasurable things to do when you visit Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh . Any itinerary for Tawang would be incomplete without a visit to the Nuranang Falls. When we visited the falls in the month of September, the waterfall was in full flow and we experienced the spectacular grandeur of the falls in all its majesty.

The waters of the Nuranang river plummet down with great velocity from a height of about 100 metres, creating a misty spray of great proportions. According to a local myth, the Nuranang falls is named after a local girl of the Monpa tribe named Nura, who is believed to have helped Rifleman Jaswant Singh of the Indian Army during the Indo-China war of 1962.

Parts of a song sequence for the Bollywood film Koyla featuring Madhuri Dixit were short against the spectacular background of the Nuranang falls.

The Nuranang falls are located near the town of Jang, about 30 kilometres from Tawang, near the Bomdila-Tawang Road.

Subedar Joginder Singh was the JCO who commanded a platoon of around 20 soldiers at Bumla Pass when they were attacked by the Chinese. They were hopelessly outnumbered but fought valiantly till the last man. Subedar Joginder Singh fought and killed more than 50 soldiers single-handedly before being fatally injured.

A Week-long trip To Tawang and Bum la including Bomdilla, Dirang, and Sangti Valley – Arunachal Pradesh

Day 1 – guwahati to dirang .

We start from the Guwahati airport in the morning and enjoy our drive through the golden fields of Assam before we start ascending the hills of Arunachal Pradesh , taking a newly built road that makes for a fantastic drive and even better views.

On our way, we stop by the beautiful Gyuto monastery and spend some time exploring it. We stop for lunch at a small Tibetan settlement en route for lunch before proceeding further ahead. We halt at a lovely little town Dirang, overlooking two mountain rivers, for the night.

Day 2 – Dirang to Tawang.

We start for Tawang today and en route stops at the Nyukmadung war memorial and pay our respect to the fallen soldiers there.

Next, we stop at the mighty Se la and soak in the gorgeous views on and around it. We visit & pay our respect at the Tawang war memorial there and then warm ourselves with piping-hot tea at the army canteen there before we resume our onward journey. We stop for a small stroll by the lovely Sela Lake if time permits and then start for our next stop, the Nuranang waterfall, the sheer grandness of which is sure to make your jaws drop.

We reach our lovely homestay in Tawang by late evening and call it a day.

Day 3 – Tawang Tour.

We start our day by visiting the largest monastery in the world, the Tawang Monastery . We explore the place at our own pace before heading to the Urgeling monastery, the birthplace of the 6th Dalai Lama and the Ani Gompa.

In the evening, we visit the war memorial and experience the light and sound show there.

Day 4 – Penga Teng Tso, Madhuri Lake and Bumla.

We start early today to explore the beautiful lakes and valleys in the higher reaches of the region. On our way to our first stop, the Penga Teng Tso, we drive through what was once the battlefield.

The scars of the war can be seen scattered all around. From there we head to the uniquely beautiful Sungester Lake , also known as the Madhuri lake of Koyla (the Bollywood movie) fame.

Finally, we head towards the India-China border at Bum-la and spend some time at the border before starting our return journey to Tawang.

Day 5 – Tawang to Bomdila/Dirang.

We drive down to the Buddhist town of Dirang/Bomdilla today, taking the same road we took on our way up to Tawang. Only this time we will stay at a unique and special place for the night instead of staying at the same homestay (if staying in Bomdila ). By evening, we reach Bomdilla and stay in the monastery for the night(if available) or else at a lovely Monpa homestay, of course after exploring it.

If we stay at Dirang, it will probably be the same wonderful Dirang homestay of ours that will be your stay for the night.

Day 6 – Bomdila/Dirang to Gauhati.

We wake up early today so that we can explore the monastery once again, this time while the monks are busy praying.

After a hearty breakfast at the monastery, we start our return journey back to Guwahati which marks the end of this beautiful trip.

We were planning to visit the North East and some ease to access locations. We got in touch with NatureWings who suggested and designed the package for us which was for 6 days including 2 days stay each at Shillong, Cherrapunjee and Kaziranga. Naturewings had got our hotels booked and arranged for a cab pick up from the Guwahati airport who stayed with us during our journey and then finally dropped us back to the airport at Guwahati at the end of the trip. I must say not only the trip well planned but the choice of stay and the points to visit at the various tourist spots was very well thought of. The cab operator who was a local person was very friendly and helpful. He acted as guide to us and advised and informed us on points of interest. We had stayed at Orchid Lake Resort Barapani and Barbareek Inn at Shillong, at Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort at Cherrapunjee and at Wild Grass Resort at Kaziranga. The stay at these places were very comfortable and along with the tranquility and scenic beauty Orchid, Cherrapunjee Resort and Wild Grass Lodge it turned out to be a very memorable and enjoyable stay. Naturewings were also regularly in touch with us and though we really didn't need any help as everything was very well planned out. Must mention the support we got from Ms Arpita and later Mr. Ratul who kept in regular touch.

We have taken Kaziranga and Arunachal Trip through NatureWings in this year January month. It was Nine Nights trip with my three friends and their families. Our trip includes Kaziranga, Tawang, Dirang, Bomdila and Bhalukpong. We are from Mumbai and we got the reference of NatureWings from one of my close friend, who took the North East Package Tour from NatureWings last year and suggested me to take the Kaziranga Package Tour along with Arunachal with NatureWings only as they were extremely happy with NatureWings Service. So after a discussion, we did lots of customization as our choice and they revised the itinerary happily so many times. We have planned for Kaziranga Jungle Safari for long and our first day was in Kaziranga Jungle and on the next day early morning we took the famous Kaziranga Elephant Safari . It was only once in a life time experience as we could see the One Horn Rhinos just from few metre distance. In the afternoon, we took the Kaziranga Jeep Safari in the central range and that too was great experience. We stayed in a nice resort close to Kaziranga Western Range and resort was very beautiful with nice ambience, food and service were extremely good. Next day, we started for Western Aurnachal and we visited Bomdila, Tawang, Diranga and Bhalukpong and overall Arunachal experience was also very good. Thank you NatureWings for providing best experience in our North East Package.

We were very confused about whether to choose Arunachal Pradesh as our holiday destination but NatureWings, especially Suman convinced us that it will be a good journey and he made it. Thank u, Suman. You made it. We were fascinated by the enchanting beauty of Arunachal. It's really a gem in the North East travel sector. The hotels, homestay, the driver provided were really commendable and cordial especially when you are traveling such an extreme part of any location, The driver must be very friendly, faithful, and cordial and that one provided by NatureWings was perfect. Thank you, Suman and NatureWings for such a nice and perfect trip.

We booked our Arunachal Tour for Nov 2019 end. We were 6 persons traveling from Mumbai. We reached Gauhati by air and from there, our Arunachal Tour started with a tour guide cum driver provided by NatureWings. In this remote off-beat destination like Arunachal, you have to depend entirely on your driver and thankfully we got a decent and cordial driver throughout our Arunachal Tour. On our return, we visited Kamakhya Temple and offered puja. It was a nice trip. Mr. Suman from NatureWings deserves a Kudos.

It was such an amazing tour to Arunachal Pradesh that I can't get over it even after a year of our visit especially the quaint town of Tawang. Our family planned to have an incredible vacation to this North Eastern State with our journey starting from Guwahati and covering beautiful places like Bhalukpong, Dirang, Tawang, Bomdila, Tezpur, and Kaziranga. The destination was great, and we enjoyed a lot while staying in good accommodation amidst the mountains, quiet nature with serenity and peace was true bliss.

NatureWings Holidays arranged our Tawang Trip from Mumbai and it was a great experience we all had due to an exceptionally well-planned trip by Mr. Sandip Raha. All hotels we stayed in were good and hygienic, with our very polite driver who kept the car very clean. We appreciate and recommend NatureWings Holidays for worry-free Tawang related tours.

We went to Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh in the 2019 Diwali vacation from Delhi and booked our tour through NatureWings Holidays based on online reviews. They handled the whole trip with great care and we received follow-up calls from them on daily basis. The hotels booked were good and after spending 13 days we again wished to visit this State once again through this professional travel agency who assured us their best service.

Thanks a lot to NatureWings Holidays managed by Mr. Sandip Raha, and only for him my North East Tour was a great success. The whole arrangement was superb and everything was systematic and praiseworthy. Utmost care was taken to see our age, liking, difficulties, and choices before booking our hotels and car at a lucrative rate. I recommend every North East explorer to choose NatureWings as their travel partner for a worry-free and reliable trip.

Kalyan Singvi

Tawang is a beautiful place to visit while on a North East Package Tour and in early 2020 we got a chance to explore this beautiful place amidst the tough mountains. The highlight of this place is its 400 years old Tawang monastery along with few ads on nearby places like Jaswant Singh Memorial, Nuranang falls, Bumla Pass, Sangetsar Lake, and War memorial. Although the place was undoubtedly great with a good stay, but the food is an issue here as my mother being vegetarian had to rely upon minimal options, but other than that we had a great family time.

Detailed Tawang Tour Itinerary for a Hassle Free trip

Tawang is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Northeast India and it tops the bucket-list of people planning to travel to Arunachal Pradesh for the first time. Situated at an elevation of above 10,000 ft, proper planning is essential for a hassle-free trip to this mountain paradise. Although a lot has been published on Google about “ Tawang Itinerary from Guwahati ”, “ Itinerary for Tawang ”, “ Top Itineraries for Tawang ”, “ Tawang Tour Packages ” or “ Tawang Holiday Package ” but none of them have any updates on the new routes, trails, activities and insider’s tip that can help you to create a bespoke Tawang Tour Itinerary.

This blog is a medium to provide you a real insight about the places you can visit, things to do and different multiple day tours of Tawang with minimum and maximum days you may need to complete the whole circuit. The itineraries are based upon two different routes that now lead to Tawang and it has details about a few unknown new destinations as well. But before you learn about different sample tour itineraries for Tawang you must also know about the facts that make it so special amongst the tourists. Learn a little more about your next destination and some interesting facts about the valley!

Tawang has unmatched natural beauty and to discover it, you will have to take the sinuous road that cut through the vertical hills and high passes while leaving behind the gushing rivers at its depth. Here the snowy mountains rise above the clouds to touch the blue skies and the cascading waterfalls plunge from the luxuriant hills to allure your senses.

This heavenly highland lies in the northwestern part of Arunachal Pradesh sharing an international border with Bhutan to its southwest and China Occupied Tibet to the north. It is the land of the peace-loving Monpa community who are believed to be the only nomadic tribe in Northeast India.

The word ‘Tawang’ is a mix of two different words from the local Monpa dialect ‘Ta’ and ‘Wang’ where the former means Horse (Ta) and the latter signifies blessed or found (Wang). It is said that in the 17 th century, the 5 th Dalai Lama assigned a Buddhist priest named Merag Lama Lodre Gyatso or Mera Lama to establish a monastery in this region. For day and night, he kept searching for an ideal place but even after his intense scouting, he couldn’t find any suitable plot for the monastery.

Upset with his failure, Mera Lama retired into a cave to offer prayers to get divine interventions to choose a perfect site. After coming out of the cave he noticed that his horse is missing. Later when he found his horse, it was grazing at a surreal mountain top. He was mesmerized to see such an amazing greener pasture and took it as divine guidance to establish the monastery at the same place. This is how the monastery got its name and so does the town next to it.

How to Reach Tawang

Fly or take a train to Guwahati, the gateway to Northeast India and travel in a taxi to Tawang. Guwahati is well connected with the rest of India through all modes of travel, hence it is convenient to start your tour from this place. Reach a day before your trip starts so that you can start early in the morning. It gets dark early in Arunachal Pradesh and as soon as 4.30 pm in winters and at around 6.00 pm in summers so it is advised to begin early in the morning.

You may also prefer to hire a self-driven car or a motorcycle with a unique itinerary from a tour operator.

Ask for a quotation for your Tawang tour itinerary from the Guwahati, Tezpur and Bomdila based operators and compare the prices to take the final decision. But one thing that you must know is that it takes a minimum of 6 days to enjoy a perfect tour of Tawang and there is no shortcut to it. Plan it wisely and go through our detailed Tawang tour itinerary for reference.

Scenic offbeat Destinations in the Tawang Sector

The mountain valleys of the Tawang region are dotted with some amazing tiny scenic villages which are ideal destinations to find solace from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although not many details are available on the internet about these villages offering stunning views, absolute tranquillity, serenity and peace of mind. Here is the list of five offbeat villages that you can add in your Tawang tour itinerary,

Sangti Valley – Sangti Valley is near Dirang at a distance of seven km from the old village. Dotted with Kiwi and Apple orchards, a visit to this valley will surely be a delightful experience. It is the most picturesque valley in all of West Kameng district with green landscape, meandering river and unusual architecture. Click on the link to know more about this unheard destination of Arunachal Pradesh. 

Thembang Fortified Village – Located 55 km northeast of Bomdila, Thembang fortified village is under the tentative list of UNESCO heritage sites . It is an ancient Monpa village with high cultural and historical significance. It has several ancient historical structures and a fortified Dzong which was built using the traditional locally available materials. Due to the structural and architectural richness of the village, the locals consider the entire village of Thembang as a monument.

Thembang Dzong is believed to be constructed before 1100 CE and it bears exceptional testimony to the living cultural traditions of the Monpa tribe depicting the influence of diverse cultures of the Bhutanese, the Tibetans and the indigenous North East Indian.  

Zemithang – A hidden paradise in the extreme northwest of Tawang region bordering Bhutan and China is Zemithang. It is approximately 90 km from Tawang town and it can be added as a full day tour option in your tour itinerary. The route from Tawang to Zemithang has a thick forest with waterfalls naturally marking the road as milestones. Zemithang is a famous pilgrimage site for the Tibetan Buddhist known as Gorsam Chorten.

Gorsam Chorten is located five km before reaching Zemithang and has a giant stupa that is believed to be built in the early part of the 12 th century by a monk named Sangey Pradha.

Charlie Woods will play U.S. Open local qualifier Thursday

Charlie Woods looks to earn a spot at this year's U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. (Cliff Hawkins/Getty Images)

Change Text Size

Charlie Woods’ road to Pinehurst begins Thursday.

Woods, the son of 82-time TOUR winner Tiger Woods, will compete in an 18-hole U.S. Open local qualifier Thursday at The Legacy Golf & Tennis Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The younger Woods is slated to tee off at 8:18 a.m. ET Thursday.

The road to the U.S. Open features 109 local qualifying sites across April and May, leading to 13 Final Qualifying sites in late May and early June. Final Qualifying is known as Golf's Longest Day, requiring competitors to navigate 36 holes to earn a tee time at the season’s third major championship.

To be eligible for qualifying, a player must have a Handicap Index not exceeding 0.4 or be a professional.

The elder Woods is a three-time U.S. Open champion, but he has yet to win at Pinehurst No. 2. Tiger Woods finished T3 at Pinehurst in 1999, two strokes back of winner Payne Stewart, and he placed solo second at the venerable venue in 2005, two back of Michael Campbell. He didn’t compete at Pinehurst in 2014.

Earlier this spring, Charlie Woods competed in a pre-qualifier for the TOUR’s Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, his first foray at attempting to qualify for a TOUR-sanctioned event. The younger Woods shot 86 that day but will look to apply learnings in Thursday’s U.S. Open local qualifier.

Tiger and Charlie Woods have paired together in the last four PNC Championships, the two-player team event contested each December that utilizes a scramble format. Team Woods finished runner-up in 2021 but has yet to win the event.

Other notables in the field at Woods' site include Cameron Kuchar (son of Matt), Sunny Kim, Garrett Willis, Reed Greyserman (brother of Max), Austin Lemieux (son of Mario) and Michael Buttacavoli.
