By Deborah Price


One of the biggest contributors to the economy of India is tourism. The northeastern part of the country is renowned for its breathtaking array of hills and jungles. For those planning to visit soon, here is what to expect from northeast India tours.

With many places to go to in the northeast, settling on one destination can be a real struggle. Most destinations are covered in separate packages. Nevertheless, an excursion to Tawang is highly recommended. Before you head out, ensure your travel agency sorts out your accommodation and commutation requirements.

Tawang is a governmental district in the Arunachal Pradesh province. It holds an unchallenged reputation of being the most naturally endowed of all the administrative districts in the province. Lots of natural wonders call this place home. Most organizers have a liking for the distinct cultures, valleys, ancient monasteries and orchid gardens in the district.

Tourists have two transport alternatives to the area. They can travel by air to the Guwahati airport or head there by train. Local and international investors have noted the potential for growth through in the local tourism sector and have built great hotels in Guwahati. Upon your arrival, your first stop should be the Kamakhya Devi Temple. Thereafter, relax at a five star establishment as you wait for the next day.

Most Indian districts are large. Your itinerary for day two should start at Bhalukpong, a 254 kilometer journey from Guwahati. Its diverse plant species are its major selling point. A highly visited local garden houses more than 450 exotic orchids, a first in India. A snow fed waterway called the Kameng snakes through the vast expanse of Bhalukpong.

A five hour drive from this location should take you to Dirang, another notable attraction. An 8600ft depression called the Monpa Valley lies here. When on site, remember to check the Bomdila Monastery. Founded in 1965, it has been the revered abode of Lamas and Buddhist monks.

A visit to Tawang town should add more sparkle to your tour. A full day is what you need to explore it. The Tawang Monastery is always the talk of town. It dates back to the 1600s when it was built by Mera Lama Lodre Gyaltso. Today, it houses Buddhist scriptures and more than 500 monks. The Monpa Village and Urgelling Monastery are top sites too.

The 1962 Indo China War Memorial is situated about 25 kilometers out of Tawang town. The memorial is dedicated to an Indian infantryman who stood out in the bloody war. Accounts state that he held back a Chinese attack for 72 hours all on his own. His post was at a 10000 foot altitude. After the lengthy hold off, he fell to an enemy bullet. Scenic terrain with nature trails surrounds the memorial.

With lots of people visiting all year round, you should book your slot early. Also ensure you get travel vaccination beforehand as you will spend a great deal of time in the wild. Your trip will certainly be one to recall.
