Location
Taktsang Gompa, located at a distance of 45 kilometre from Tawang Township, is one of the most famous tourist attractions. The site of this gompa is believed to be blessed in the 8th century AD by the visit of Guru Padmasambhava.
Perched on the ridge of a small hill, the monastery is surrounded by dense coniferous forest, where devotees can conduct a roundabout. It is also believed that it is the same place where Guru Padmasambhava meditated.
