At an elevation of 15,200 feet above the sea level & 37 Km from Tawang , the Bumla Pass a prominent attraction of Arunachal Pradesh, marks the Indo-China border. The place instantly evokes a feeling of patriotism, especially after watching soldiers protecting the border that too in such nerve-wracking weather condition. Also, it was through this pass, Dalai Lama entered India. Bumla Pass has witnessed many memorable events that make it a special one in the history of India. While on visit to Bumla Pass, make a point to see the route from where Dalai Lama entered India to take a refuge. One can also see the Indo-China Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) Point, which is one of the four meeting points between Indian Army and People's Liberation Army of China for regular consultations and interaction The best time to visit here will be summers, and too when there's no sign of rain.Bumla Pass is accessible only by permission. For the permits, you need to visit the Office of the Deputy Commissioner in Tawang District and then Indian army cantonment of Tawang. The office for issue of visitor pass is inside the Campus of ‘Tawang War Memorial.’ We visited this place in a group of 19 persons in 3 jeeps & have taken almost full day to visit BunLa Pas & Madhuri Lake.

This is much more than a usual monastery visit as this is a living, working miniature town within a town. The main hall can be visited on two levels and on a sunny day has enough light inside for good photography. The view of the town and snow-topped mountains is spectacular from here.

Formed by a flash flood after an earthquake in the year 1950, Madhuri Lake is originally known as Shonga-tser Lake, which is one of the most popular lakes in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh. The lake was renamed so after the shooting of Bollywood movie Koyla, starring Madhuri Dixit, the beautiful actress. The lake has been surrounded by wonderfully lush valleys, and snow-capped mountains. A leisure walk is the best way to explore the picturesque surroundings of the lake Tawang is a town in Arunanchal Pradesh, profusely bestowed with pristine nature and a vibrant ethnicity. There is a mesh of India and China which can be witnessed during your trip to Tawang. The popular Tawang Monastery plays a special role in attracting different travelers here. Best time to visit Tawang is between March and October and for season-wise details of the town, you must read further. One of the remotest pools of the nation and maybe of the world also, Sangetsar or Madhuri Lake is a stunning blend of rough mountains and an ever-show lake whose excellence is past hypnotizing. The lake was shown up in the Bollywood motion picture Koyla and is otherwise called Madhuri Lake named after the lead performing artist in the motion picture. The Madhuri Lake situated at an elevation of 12000 ft above ocean level only 30 km north-east of Tawang, is an incredible sight, tucked between tremendous mountains in the core of the Himalayas with numerous upright tree trunks remaining in its paunch as though guarding the lake
