Arunachal is the least densely populated state of India which is pure, peaceful, unpolluted and unmatched scenic beauty. The most famous destination of Arunachal, which is also called The Land of Rising Sun, is Tawang. Muddie Trails, in collaboration with Monks on Wheels is presing a group trip to Tawang.
The Tawang valley, situated at a height of 10,000 feet above sea level is a sight to behold. Tucked amidst the high passes of eastern Himalayan range and home to The Lamas, Tawang boasts the largest Buddist Monastary in the country that houses 28 feet high golden Buddha statue.
The high passes of Tawang are home to many glacial lakes that are an epitome of peace and tranquility. To reach Tawang, one has to pass through Sela pass at an altitude of 13,700 feet. Sela is one of the highest passes in the world close to the international border where travelers can enjoy a beautiful journey sighting hoards of Army vehicles.
The stone village of Dirang, the apple orchards town of Bomdila, the Indo-China border pass Bum La at an altitude of 15200 ft above sea level are added attractions. Bumla pass is a great example of how Indian soldiers protect our country at harshest of terrains and climates.
The colorful and ancient architecture of monasteries & stupas is well complimented by the smile & hospitality of people, and rich traditions of the Buddist culture.
Come, join us on a backpacking trip to a “silent paradise” called Tawang!
