Tawang — 4 Nights / 5 Days Tour
Arunachal Pradesh · Himalayan monastery town — Tawang Monastery is the largest in India and the second largest in the world, founded in the seventeenth century and the birthplace of the sixth Dalai Lama. Getting there is the commitment: the road from Assam crosses Sela Pass at around 4,170 metres and takes two full days each way, and it closes with snow. Every visitor needs a permit — an Inner Line Permit for Indian nationals, a Protected Area Permit for foreign nationals, which takes longer and is not always granted. This is a serious trip rather than an add-on, and anyone selling it as a short excursion has not driven it. Three nights in Tawang itself, plus four days of travel, is the honest shape of it. This 4-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Two full days by road from Guwahati or Tezpur in each direction, over Sela Pass. Anyone offering Tawang as a short trip is not describing the actual drive.
