Tucked away in India’s far northeast, Tawang feels almost untouched by the rush of mainstream tourism. Surrounded by the eastern Himalayas, the town is famous for the majestic Tawang Monastery—one of the largest Buddhist monasteries in the world. Summer here is pleasantly cool, with clear skies revealing snow-dusted peaks and pristine alpine lakes like Madhuri Lake. The journey to Tawang itself, crossing the dramatic Sela Pass, adds to the experience. With its serene monasteries, colourful prayer flags, and dramatic landscapes, Tawang offers both beauty and quiet reflection.
