To provide information about Tawang, we have started a series\u00a0which would be\u00a0helpful\u00a0to\u00a0plan your trip. Sufficient number of days, places to cover, hotels to stay, destinations, places, and landmarks we loved\u00a0and difficulty you might encounter all\u00a0will be\u00a0covered in this series.FYI: Do not plan to visit any place while returning from Tawang otherwise all beautiful places will lose their charm in your eyes in comparison to Tawang\u2019s beautiful and scenic attractions.
\nWe travelled to Zemithang on 6th<\/sup> day. We spotted\u00a05-6 huge and gorgeous waterfalls, and visited Gorsam Stupa, and Devi Tara\u2019s statue. Road to Zemithang is covered with dense forest and various unknown birds and species can be spotted on the way.
\nGorsam Stupa, Zemithang<\/strong>
\n
\"Gursam<\/a>
Gursam Stupa<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nOne of the biggest stupas in India. This stupa is replica of two another Stupas. One is in Nepal and another is in Bhutan. It is said that the architect, who built other two stupas, carved\u00a0the design on radish. Within sometime radish expanded and\u00a0the structure of the Stupa is little wider than its originals.
\nDevi Tara Statue Monastery, Lumla<\/strong>
\nThis statue is visible from very far fromLumla and situated on the mountain\u2019s top. The statue is not only gigantic but also marvelous. Mountains and valleys, around the monastery, make the place more beautiful and enjoyable. You can spend quite a good time at this place.

\nNext day, we stayed in Tawang and visited few more important monasteries.
\nUrgelling Monastery<\/strong>
\nThough it is a small monastery, but it has great historical significance for Buddhists. It is the birthplace of 6th Dalai Lama. It is the only place in India where a Dalai Lama was reincarnated.
\nSre Jay Jaymag (ch**) Monastery<\/strong>
\nA newly built yet colourful monastery. It is worth a visit.
\nKhin Mey Gonpa<\/strong>
\nIt is less popular, yet it is the best (In terms of colors and beauty of the inner Gompa) of all. It is near to Bomdir village and approximately ten\u00a0Kms away from Tawang. Instead of Budhdha, they assume reincarnation of Guru. Murals covers all the walls of the monastery. These Murals\u00a0are exotic pieces of work.

\nNext day, we took a small walk to Chuck Sum Bridge, which is near to\u00a0Kitpi village.
\nChuck Sum Bridge<\/strong>

\"Chuck<\/a>
Chuck Sum Bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nAn Iron bridge built by Chinese army to cross the river during 1962 Sino Indian war.\u00a0This hanging bridge still exists and it is still in the working condition. Though you would not love to step on the bridge, but some of our brave friends were courageous enough to step on it and took some photographs from the middle of the bridge. It is generally not visited by travelers, but for explorers it would be a nice walk in the middle of the forest looking\u00a0for various species of birds which are unseen anywhere except Arunachal.
\nThis was the ultimatum day, the most awaited day, of\u00a0our trip. We got the permits for Bumla and Shangester Lake. Both of these places were the most talked place, and these places were really worth the hype.
\nBum la<\/strong>
\n

On the way to Bum la<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nBumla is pass connecting two mountains. We could not really reach to Bumla. But the road journey to Bumla<\/strong>\u00a0was beautiful. Fresh snow was all around, and it was magical\u00a0to drive through snow laden mountains. It would be difficult to explain the moments and excitement in words, experiencing those moments is must. On the last check post, we were informed to halt our journey as it has been difficult, even for Army vehicle, to cross the certain point due to heavy snow fall. But Bumla would not have been more beautiful than the places we crossed during our\u00a0journey to Bum la.
\nShangester Lake<\/strong>
\nThis lake is also known\u00a0as Madhuri Lake, because this lake was featured in Koyla Hindi movie. It is 25 KMs far from Bum la. The Lake is mystical and enchanting. As soon as you eye on the lake, you will be hypnotized with the magnetic beauty of the lake. You lose your worldly associations and reaching to the lake becomes the ultimate goal of the life. This lake built due to land slide, and it is most gorgeous, exquisite, and charming gift of the nature to Tawang.
\nWhy do we say that Lake is gorgeous?<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Various falls were merging in the lake<\/li>\n
  • Various streams were exiting from it.<\/li>\n
  • It was surrounded with enormously large mountains.<\/li>\n
  • Lot of life less trees were erected in the lake.<\/li>\n
  • There is footpath, built by army, around the lake to increase your magical moments.<\/li>\n
  • Lake was surrounded with trees.<\/li>\n
  • Lot of birds were playing with lake water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In addition to this, now Army takes care of this lake and it has set up a canteen where army personnel serve high quality food at low-cost, and in addition Army has set up a recovery room to help people in emergency situations.
    \nTaktsang Monastery<\/strong>
    \nTaktsang means tiger\u2019s cave. This place is 5-6 KMs far from Shangster Lake. Though we did not get chance to go inside the Gompa, yet its location is\u00a0beautiful. It is on a cliff edge\u00a0and it gives the superb view of the mountains enclosing it.
    \nNext day we returned to the civilized world where civilization has killed the beauty of forests and established the kingdom of concrete.
