On the way to Tawang explore some of best attractions of Arunachal Pradesh like:

SELA PASS (13,700 FT)

One of the highest motorable mountain passes in India, the Sela Pass remains snow-covered (fully or partially) throughout the year. Located about 78 km before reaching Tawang, this pass is a gateway to mystical high-altitude beauty. Nestled beside the pass is the stunning Sela Lake, a naturally heart-shaped lake surrounded by snow-draped peaks. In winter, the lake often freezes, creating a postcard-perfect view that adds magic to the journey. It is also considered a sacred site by the local Monpa people.

JASWANT GARH WAR MEMORIAL

This war memorial commemorates the bravery of Rifleman Jaswant Singh Rawat, a Mahavir Chakra (Posthumous) awardee from the 4th Battalion, Garhwal Rifles. During the 1962 Sino-Indian War, he is said to have held off Chinese troops single-handedly for 72 hours at this very location. The memorial is not only a place of reverence but is also shrouded in legend — many believe that his spirit still guards the area. A visit here during your Arunachal Tour Plan from Guwahati adds a deep historical and emotional dimension to your trip.

JUNG FALLS / NURANANG FALLS (6,000 FT)

Located around 40 km before Tawang, Jung Falls, also known as Nuranang Falls, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Northeast India. Dropping from a height of about 100 meters, the roaring cascade is surrounded by dense forest and mist-covered cliffs. According to local lore, the waterfall is named after a Monpa girl named Nura, who helped an Indian soldier during the 1962 war.

This modest yet sacred site holds deep spiritual significance for followers of the faith.

SANGESTAR LAKE (MADHURI LAKE)

Located approximately 20 km from Tawang, Sangestar Lake - popularly known as Madhuri Lake (after Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit who filmed here for the movie Koyla) is one of the most serene and picturesque locations in Arunachal Pradesh. Formed by falling rocks and trees during an earthquake, this high-altitude lake is set against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains and surrounded by a breathtaking valley.

The pristine beauty of Madhuri Lake makes it a must-visit destination during your Arunachal Package from Guwahati, especially for those looking to experience the untouched Himalayan wilderness.

BUM LA PASS – GATEWAY TO THE INDO-CHINA BORDER

Continue your drive to the historic and strategically important Bum La Pass, located at an altitude of over 15,000 feet, right on the India-China border. This pass is one of the four officially agreed Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) points between the Indian Army and the People’s Liberation Army of China. These meetings are crucial in maintaining peace, promoting mutual understanding, and resolving issues that arise along the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Visiting Bum La is a humbling and patriotic experience - not only does it offer panoramic Himalayan views, but it also gives visitors a chance to see Indian soldiers braving extreme conditions to guard the nation’s frontiers. Entry to Bum La Pass requires special permission, which is typically arranged in advance through local administrative channels or facilitated by Meilleur Holidays for guests booking their Arunachal Package from Guwahati.
