Tawang Monastery & Bum La Pass Tour
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 before proceeding further ahead on our Tawang tour package. 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, stop at the Nyukmadung war memorial and pay our respects 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 respects 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. Our handpicked homestays are a great way to give you a peek into the tribal life and culture of Arunachal Pradesh.
Day 3 – Tawang Local Tour – Things to see in Tawang
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 Bum-la
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 (PT 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.
**Please note that non-Indians are not allowed to go towards the upper lakes or Bum-La. Hence, this day is not to be considered if you are a non-Indian looking at this plan.
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 Bomdila 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 as ours, which 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 to Guwahati, which marks the end of this beautiful trip.
