2. Bomdila Monastery

Reviewed By krishna292 - Hyderabad
Having left Bhaukpong at 10 AM we reached Bomdila Monastery at about 4-30 PM covering a distance of nearly 100km. Being senior citizens, the travel was really painful due to bad roads, several landslides, curvy (ghat) roads around the Mountains and road blocks because Border Roads department continues to clear the roads using earth movers. On the way we stopped at a few places including an Army Camp having a nice restaurant besides clean toilets. Of course on the way we had witnessed beautiful scenes of Mountains and Valleys and also had a great view of snow covered Mountains of Sela/Chinese border. Bomdila is a small and clean town and its main attraction is the Monastery or Gompah. The idol of Lord Budha installed in 1965 in the central sanctum is known to be a replica of Lord Budha's idol in Tibet. Later, in 1995 Dalai Lama visited it in 1995 and gave blessings to the new monastery after several structures were added. There are hostels and guest houses providing accommodation to students learning Bushism and being trained in Budhist customs. It is considered to be a sacred place for Budhists. For tourists it offers serenity and excellent view of the surroundings. We spent about 45 minutes here taking some photos and then left for Dirang.

One of the hidden jewels of Arunachal Pradesh is Sangti Valley, across the river from main National Highway and about 12 Kms from the Dirang town is land of fruits and orchards. You can get Kiwi, Oranges, Apples and Apricot.
Natural beauty in abundance must visit if one is doing Tawang circuit.

The Shiva Lingam of the Sidheswar Nath Temple was discovered in July 2004. The story of the discovery of the Linga goes as - during the Shravana month, the holy month of worshipping Lord Shiva, a local named Prem Subha was cutting a tree near the tall stone. The tree fell a few meters away from the stone. When he saw the stone carefully he suddenly realized that it was no ordinary stone but a Shiva Linga. He informed all the people around about what he saw and there was a huge gathering near the Linga.
7. Mechuka Valley

Reviewed By Nishant S - Guwahati, India
If you fall asleep through your journey long enough to wake up in Mechuka missing the road signs that give you a reality check, you may find yourself a tad bit confused about the location.
From a complete shift in architectural pattern, with wood replacing brick and mortar and herds of stray horses interrupting your path or seen grazing at a distance, replacing the usual cow herds seen on Indian roads, you slowly tend to relate to the deep rooted Tibetan influence that you have read online about.
Visiting Mechuka then becomes special when you add to this physical beauty a small detail like the fact that the road to this little painting of a place, was constructed only in 2003 and most of the people had to walk to the nearest road head of Tato 50 kilometres away.
Mechuka has to play the role of a younger brother as far as places with Buddhist significance in Arunachal Pradesh are concerned but don't discount Mechuka’s promise, it's a case of the quintessential underdog waiting to win the battle, one traveller at a time.
8. Sela Pass

Sela Pass is the second highest Pass in India.
Reviewed By trekkerMangalore - Mangalore, India
We passed this place twice in the last 3 days, enroute to Tawang. On the way up we had wonderful weather with clear skies and a sunny day. We got some wonderful photographs too. The whole drive was uneventful. There is nothing to look, but everything to experience.
Two days later on the way back, the weather had turned foul. Heavy snow with icy slippery roads made driving very treacherous. Lot of vehicles were stuck. The experienced drivers made it. Some drivers were binding their rear tyres with chains to get a better grip on slippery ice. The other side of the mountain was covered with dense fog with poor visibility. The oncoming military convoy trucks made it even more difficult.
Do not underestimate the mountain pass. Make sure that you have adequate daylight. The sun sets by 5 in the evening. Make sure that you have a good vehicle with good tyres and experienced driver.

I don't argue that this place is nice. Peaceful, sacred, fresh.... But foes it have anything special? Sorry I cannot find any. 26 years old small Buddhism temple. Nothing more than that. BTW, this temple and Gompa are located side by side.
10. Orchid Research Centre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
Reviewed By pathakan - Duliajan, Dibrugarh (Assam)
We were very optimistic of getting to see a lot of rare varieties of orchids at this center. What we actually found was a very poorly maintained campus having some orchids in some enclosures (not easily visible) and practically no staff to guide / tell us anything about orchids. The main enclosure called the Temple of Orchids ("Be humble, bow and enter" is written over there) was locked. Overall a waste of time and effort.
