A Tawang tour package booked for the months of summer allows you to experience the calm and green pastures of Tawang, but it is in the winters when the town really flourishes under the pristine blanket of white snow that it experiences. Snow-sports are quite popular among people opting for a Tawang holiday package. Madhuri Lake, among several other attractions, is a prime example of the scenic beauty one can experience; you may even say that the main attractions covered in the town with their sheer beauty more than make up for the cost of your Tawang tour. Tawang is popularly known as the Land of Monpas, as the Monpa people are the indigenous population of the region.

Since the history of the region is embedded with religion and folklore, the town very aptly is considered as a central peg for the region's culture.

The Sela Pass is the only way to get to Tawang by land, thus a visit is of course included in the cost of your Tawang trip.

The Tawang monastery is one of the primary destinations in Tawang; it may even be said that Tawang Tourism revolves around this monastery. The Buddhist temple is believed to be around 400 years old and is often also referred to as the Golden Namgyal Lhatse. The monastery is the second largest Buddhist shrine in the world, the first largest being the one in Lhasa. Located at a height of 3000 meters, the monastery is perched on the towering ranges of the Himalayas. It is built in a typical form of Buddhist architecture and is home to over 300 monks.

• Madhuri Lake

The spellbinding Madhuri Lake is located at a tremendous height of 12000 feet above sea level. It is one of the remotest lakes in the Indian subcontinent and probably even the world. It is a place of prayer for the Buddhists from India and Tibet alike. When visiting the lake, one can witness the marvellous mountains that overlook the pristine water all throughout the year. No matter the cost of your Tawang tour package, a well crafted Tawang package will always include a visit to this natural wonder. The lake is also a famous spot for honeymooners thanks to the serene ambience it has to offer and is often covered in Tawang honeymoon trips.

•  Nuranang Falls

Nestled deep in the forests of Tawang, the Nuranang Waterfall is a natural wonder that can surely be counted as one of the most spectacular waterfalls in India. Parts of the Nuranang River originate at Sela Pass and meet the rocky ridges in the form of a phenomenal misty waterfall. As the falls are not often visited, the water is crystal clear and can be enjoyed by travellers that visit the destination. The other name for the falls is BTK, which is an abbreviation of Bap Ten Kang.

One can find lush greenery in the surroundings of the waterfall which exhibits the natural beauty of the Tawang region. The falls are a great stopover from Tawang to Sela, as one can rejuvenate and experience this wonder at the same time.
