Tawang Monastery

erched dramatically at 10,000 feet in the high Himalayas of Tawang, Tawang Monastery feels like it’s floating between clouds and mountains. Founded in 1681, it is the largest monastery in India and one of the most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet. Prayer wheels hum in the cold mountain wind, monks in maroon robes move through ancient halls, and golden Buddha statues glow softly inside candle-lit chambers. Peaceful, powerful, and visually stunning, this monastery offers travelers not just breathtaking views—but a deep, soul-calming spiritual experience high above the world.
