Travel tips

  • Keep your Inner Line Permit (ILP) easily accessible at all times, as multiple checkpoints inspect documents along the winding mountain roads.
  • Carry adequate cash in smaller denominations since ATMs in Tawang are frequently out of service and digital payments are unreliable.
  • Pack waterproof gear and protective covers for your electronics to withstand the anticipated heavy rain during temple visits.
  • Acclimatize properly upon arrival at high altitude and stay hydrated to prevent altitude sickness while exploring the monastery.
