Guwahati – Arunachal Pradesh North East Tour

The Guwahati – Arunachal Pradesh tour’s day-based itinerary will be as follows:

• Day 1 – Guwahati to Bomdila / Dirang
• Day 2 – Bomdila / Dirang to Tawang
• Day 3 – Explore Things to see in Tawang
• Day 4 – Tawang – PT Tso – Shungestar Lake (Madhuri Lake) – Bum La (India – China border) – Tawang*
• Day 5 – Tawang  to Bomdila / Dirang
• Day 6 – Bomdila / Dirang to Guwahati

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 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.

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, 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.

Mili Bhowmik

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.

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.

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.

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.

Distance from Tawang : 73 kilometres. Tip : Please be aware of the low oxygen level at Sela Pass.

Jaswant Garh War Memorial – Requiem For A Rifleman

The Jaswantgarh War Memorial is a monument erected in memory of Rifleman Jaswant Singh who laid down his life during the battle of Nurananag in the 1962 Indo-China war .

The memorial is built over what remains of a tree under which Jaswant Singh breathed his last after being hit by enemy bullets.

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.

Distance from Tawang : 30 kilometres. Tip – If you don’t want to get wet, carry a raincoat or waterproof poncho and wear appropriate footwear.

Tawang View Point – A Vantage Point To Appreciate Tawang’s Beauty

Near the Giant Buddha statue is the Tawang View Point , where you can spend some quiet moments sitting on a bench looking out at the valley that stretches out below. A huge signboard, that says, “I Love Tawang,” is a perfect backdrop for a nice selfie or two.

The depiction of Buddha’s first sermon in Sarnath can be seen near the viewpoint as well as the statue of an emaciated Buddha deep in meditation after practising arduous austerities for 6 years grabs your attention.

There is a canteen run by the Army where you can have light snacks and tea or coffee. You can also buy items like jackets, boots, caps, and hats here at pretty reasonable prices.

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.

He was captured and died in Chinese captivity. His ashes were later repatriated to his unit and he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra.

Local Customer Reviews for Arunachal Tours from Kolkata

Moupriya Maity - March 10, 2022

We was thrilled that at last we are going to visit the so much talked about Bumla Pass with Bengal Tour Plans Travel agency. We started off at 8 AM from our hotel at Tawang by a Scorpio, arranged by our hotel. I was quite nervous about AMS but our driver told not to worry as there will be enough back from the army people. He was a polite and charming guy. We reached the Y-Junction, halted their for a while. Took a cup of tea from the army canteen. The Army people was very helpful and polite towards all the tourists. After a while, we started towards Bumla Pass. It was a thrilling journet with road conditions not so good at different patches. To my surprise, I did not felt any breathing problem while we were ascending, nor did my wife and son. In fact they were very cheerful and thrilled. We reached Bumla Pass, went near the Indo-China border. A nice experience. Hats off to our army.

Tawang Travel Guide

Arunachal Pradesh , Northeast India

Last Updated on: Jul 18, 2016  

Tawang is an unexplored paradise. Located in the western part of Arunachal Pradesh at a height of about 3500 m above the sea level, the place is both historically and naturally endowed. Because of its remote location, travelling to Tawang is often perceived as difficult to some. But, it is one of the most beautiful places of the north-eastern Himalayas.  Surrounded by the Tibet in the northern part, Bhutan in the Southwest and the Sela ranges in the east, the place can boast of the natural beauty of glacial lakes as well as the snow covered peaks.

Tawang is historically known as ‘Mon-yul’ or the land of the Monpa tribe. In fact, Tawang was traditionally inhabited by the Monpa tribe and they are the majority still now except for the Shyo village that is dominated by the people of Tibetan origin.

Tawang is the birthplace of the sixth Dalai Lama and is thus of immense importance for the Tibetan Buddhists. The Tawang Monastery is around 400 years old and is of unparalleled significance to the Buddhists.

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.

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.
