Tawang Buddhist Monastery

Reviewed By rovingGeologist

This is much more than a usual monastery visit as this is a living, working miniature town within a town. The main hall can be visited on two levels and on a sunny day has enough light inside for good photography. The view of the town and snow-topped mountains is spectacular from here.

Tawang War Memorial is a big 40-foot structure overlooking the Tawang-Chu Valley. The great Tawang War Memorial was constructed in commemoration of the sacrifices of great Indian Army soldiers who laid their lives to protect the nation during the 1962 Sino-Indian war. The visitors can spot the names of the brave soldiers carved on granite plates and this memorial was also visited by Dalai Lama in 1997. The memorial is dedicated to 2420 brave soldiers who gave up their lives in the war at Kameng sector.

Brahma-dung-chung Ani Gompa

Reviewed By rao-ash - Colombo, Sri Lanka

We took the ropeway (INR100 per person per trip, to and fro; min. ppl 4 per trip). The experience was delightful and the view is "from out of this world". Do not opt for the ropeway if you're scared of heights. The monastery is so serene and calming that it stirs your heart. We were offered butter tea and hot water by a very old Nun. Prayers were being chanted by two monks continuously.
