Tawang Itinerary – About Tawang Valley | Tawang History
It is imperative to understand briefly the history of Tawang India and the legends associated with it before delving into the attractions and experiences that await you there. The origins of Tawang city date back to medieval times and are lost in the grey corridors of time.
Tawang is synonymous with the monastery that stands as its best-known icon and the history of both are inextricably linked.
Legend has it that, sometime in the latter half of the 17th century (1680-81), Merak LamaLodre Gyatso arrived from Lhasa on the instructions of the 5th Dalai Lama. His mission was to build a Buddhist monastery in the land of the Monpas. The land of the Monpa tribe stretched across what are now the districts of Tawang and West Kameng.
Merak Lama sat in deep meditation, hoping for divine guidance about where the monastery should come up. When he emerged from his meditation, he found his horse missing. He went in search of his horse and found it grazing on a beautiful and verdant hill that looked over the valley.
He found the place, perfect for a monastery, and taking this incident as a divine instruction, he decided to build the monastery there.
In the year 1680-81, the Tawang Monastery came up, it shone like a pearl, perched on a high cliff, caressed by clouds, a truly mystical place, and the perfect abode of the spirit of Buddhism. The monastery was known as Gaden Namgyal Lhatse, which in Tibetan means, “the complete paradise of divine victory.
“The town that came up around the monastery came to be known as Tawang, which literally translates in Tibetan as “chosen by the horse.”
Tawang has had a chequered political history. It was under the Tibetan administration till 1950, when Tibet lost its autonomy, and became a part of the Peoples’ Republic of China. Tawang thus came under the control of the Chinese. It was in the year 1951, that India finally took control of Tawang.
However, the 1962 war with China saw Tawang fall to the Chinese forces and was in their control for a brief period before the ceasefire and withdrawal of the Chinese army. In spite of this somewhat chaotic history, Tawang is enveloped in an aura of calm and serenity and exudes a mystical charm.

Nuranang Falls – Day 1 Of Your Tawang Itinerary
Feasting your eyes on the beauty of the Nuranang Falls is one of the most pleasurable things to do when you visit Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. Any itinerary for Tawang would be incomplete without a visit to the Nuranang Falls. When we visited the falls in the month of September, the waterfall was in full flow and we experienced the spectacular grandeur of the falls in all its majesty.
The waters of the Nuranang river plummet down with great velocity from a height of about 100 metres, creating a misty spray of great proportions. According to a local myth, the Nuranang falls is named after a local girl of the Monpa tribe named Nura, who is believed to have helped Rifleman Jaswant Singh of the Indian Army during the Indo-China war of 1962.
Parts of a song sequence for the Bollywood film Koyla featuring Madhuri Dixit were short against the spectacular background of the Nuranang falls.
