#6 Taktsang Gompa

It is a tiger den at an altitude of around 12,500 to 13,000 feet on the top of the cliff. It is one of the finest places to visit in the Tawang; in fact, the improvement in the prominence of the place occurred when Guru Padmasambhava visited it in the 8th century. The fact that the guru meditated and sang mantras in these caverns is well known. This place is a spiritual treat to the visitors and a visual one. It is present precisely in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh. The best time to visit this place is in the winter season to come across the snowfall and blocked roads.

#7 Shiv Mandir

Mr. Prem Subha is said to have discovered a Shiv Lingam while cutting a tree during the holy month of Shravana. The tree was about to fall, and the tree fell a few kilometers apart, and the Shiv Lingam was safe. This gave a clear picture to the man that this was not a mere stone, and he started believing in Lord Shiva from that instant. One can also view the traces of Lord Parvati and Lord Ganesha with a trunk turning left side. Also, a river is visible to be passing by the bottom of the Lingam. One can visit this place throughout the year. It is present approximately 4 kilometers away from the Hapoli townships. Local taxis are also readily available.
