Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

The house is ideally situated for exploring the best of Tawang and the Eastern Himalaya:

Tawang Monastery: (the largest in India, 17th century, Galden Namgey Lhatse). A must-see, just a short distance away.
Sela Pass & Sela Lake: (4,170m, frozen most of winter). The iconic high-altitude pass, offering stunning views (weather permitting).
Madhuri Lake / Sangetsar Tso: (45km from Tawang, named after the actress). A scenic lake, perfect for a day trip.
Ziro valley: (Apatani tribal heartland, paddy + bamboo terraces). For those with more time, a longer journey to experience the unique culture of the Apatani tribe.
Bumla Pass: (LAC viewpoint, permit required, 37km from Tawang). A viewpoint on the border (permit required).
