Tawang Monastery

To visit the famous Tawang Monastery, we hired a small Omni cab, which was convenient because the driver also agreed to drop us directly at the Tawang bus stand afterward.

Perched high above the town at around 10,000 feet, Tawang Monastery is the largest monastery in India and the second largest in the world. The monastery complex overlooks the entire Tawang valley, and the views from here are truly breathtaking.

Walking through the monastery grounds, with prayer flags fluttering in the cold mountain wind and monks moving quietly through the courtyards, created a very peaceful atmosphere. The massive prayer hall, traditional architecture, and surrounding Himalayan mountains make this place feel both spiritual and majestic.

After spending some time exploring the monastery and enjoying the views of the valley below, we continued our ride with the same Omni cab toward the Tawang bus stand, getting ready for the next part of our journey.Læs mere
