Day wise Itinerary for Tawang Tour
Day 1: Guwahati - Dirang (320 km - 10 hours)
We start our tour very early in the day as we have a long and tiring journey to Dirang. While the journey is long, we ensure you take multiple stops to admire the beauty of nature. We pass through very close to the picturesque Bhutan - Assam - Arunachal Pradesh tri-junction. We also visit the beautiful Gyuto Monastery on the way. Later in the evening, we reach the town of Dirang. Check-in to a homestay / hotel / camp and relax.
Day 2: Dirang - Sela Pass - Nuranang Waterfalls - Tawang (6-7 hours)
An exciting part of the journey begins today as we move from valley to the mountains. The scenic route to Tawang passes through Sela Pass (13000+ ft above sea level). We take a stop at this place for few minutes to admire the beauty of Sela Pass. The sudden change in the landscape as we reach Sela Pass is sure to pleasantly surprise you. We will proceed to Tawang via Nuranang Waterfalls and Chakzam Bridge (a suspension bridge that is built 400 years ago)! Check in to a hotel at Tawang.
Day 3: Tawang Sight Seeing Tour
There are a lot of places to visit in the town of Tawang. We start our day by visiting the second largest Buddhist Monastery in the world, Tawang Monastery. Later, we go to Buddha Park and visit birth place of 6th Dalai Lama. In the evening, we will visit the war memorial, and view the light and sound show (which introduces you to the awesome history of this region).
Day 4: Tawang - Bum La Pass - Sungester Lake - Tawang
Another exciting day begins as we drive through stunning landscapes to reach the India - China border at Bum La Pass, which is situated at 15200 ft above sea level. Spend some time interacting with the army personnel and take some beautiful pictures with China in the background. Later we drive towards Sungester Lake, which is also called Madhuri Lake by tourists after a song of Madhuri Dixit was filmed here (anyone remember the movie Koyla?). Later we drive back to Tawang.
Day 5: Tawang - Bhalukpong (280 km - 9 hours)
After spending awesome days at Tawang, we start our way back, getting closer to the end of an exciting tour. We take a different route this time and take a halt at the border town of Bhalukpong. Check in to a homestay in the evening and relax.
Day 6: Bhalukpong - Guwahati (240 km - 5 hours)
Today is the last day of the tour. After spending some time exploring the town of Bhalukpong, we drop you back to Guwahati (airport / railway station / hotel).
This is the shortest Tawang Tour package you can select. Of course, this covers most of the region, and is budget friendly. However, as we recommended earlier, spending more time at Tawang is advisable.

Important Information for Tawang Tour
Tawang is an offbeat tour. It is not a regular tourist destination. Hence you may not get all the comforts that you are typically used to at other tourist locations
Homestays / hotels will be basic but will be neat and clean. There are very minimal homestays, and even lesser good ones. So there is not much of a choice for better homestays. However, you will be amazed by the friendly nature of the hosts.
As there are very few places to stay, the hotels / homestays get full very quickly. If you are planning for a peak season, plan early to get hotel bookings.
If you want to visit Kaziranga also, you need to extend the tour by one more day. Please contact us for the same
