The journey to Tawang is one of India's great overland adventures, climbing from the Assam plains over the 13,700-ft Sela Pass to a Himalayan monastery town.
The ascent
From Guwahati, drive to Dirang or Bomdila for an acclimatisation night before crossing Sela Pass, with Nuranang Falls and the war memorial en route to Tawang.
In Tawang
Explore India's largest monastery, and — permit permitting — visit Bumla Pass and the sacred Madhuri Lake.
Suggested length
Plan 7–9 nights round trip from Guwahati for a safe, enjoyable pace.
- Acclimatise at Dirang
- ILP required (we arrange it)
- Best: March–October
- Serious warm layers needed
