One of Arunachal Pradesh's gems is the Tawang Monastery which is also called the Golden Namgyal Lhatse it is situated at 3,000 meters above sea level, and it's far acknowledged as the area's second biggest monastery, with Lhasa being the largest.

The Tawang Monastery Arunachal Pradesh is covered with  17 gompas within the area and is concept to be 400 years old. Almost 300 monks stay there meant to be a massive home to them. The Tawang-Chu valley is breathtakingly seen from this area, located in the Himalayan peaks. 

The significant, 8-meter-tall statue of Lord Buddha is one of the monastery Tawang homes' most extraordinary functions. In 1860–18601, Merak Lama Lodre Gyamtso erected the three-story shape to satisfy the demand of Nagwang Lobsang Gyatso, the Fifth Dalai Lama. 

It became a member of the Gelugpa branch of Buddhism and maintained a religious connection to the Drepung Monastery in Lhasa at some point in British colonial technology. The foremost temple, Dukhang, has exquisite interiors with superb artwork, and sketches and artwork of Bodhisattvas decorate the internal walls. 

The library has many valuable historic texts, including Tengyur and Kangyur. You could be in awe of the traditional Buddhist structure observed inside the major structures. The colourful celebrations of the monasteries are the cherry on the cake monastery in Tawang. Explore this with the Tawang Tour Package.
