Taktsang Gompa

Mar 2016 • Friends

Taktsang Gompa is one of the holiest Buddhist shrines of Arunachal Pradesh. Standing amidst high mountains, its sanctity is credited to Padmasambhava, the missionary who brought Buddhism to Tibet. Popular legends speak of him as a miracle-maker. When Buddhism swept over Tibet, Padmasambhava was deified as a simultaneous incarnation of both Gautama Buddha and Amitabha Buddha. Taktsang Gompa, Tawang is among the few places in Arunachal Pradesh believed to have been visited by him. Traces of his supposed stay mare can still be seen in the form of footsteps and hoof prints on the rocky floor of the adjacent cave where he meditated.
Interestingly, though the holes on the floor are believed to be the hoof prints of his horse, Padmasambhava was supposedly flying on a tiger. Hence the name tak, or tiger, and tsang, ‘place or abode’

Good view from top

You need to climb 2 floors to get a good watch tower view. But the view is breathtaking and worth climbing the stairs. Small monestry.

Comfortable stay in Tawang

May 2017 • Family

We chose Taktsang Tawang since we don't like the crowded and noisy locations in the town centre/market. We like to be surrounded by natural beauty and greenery. Taktsang met these requirements adequately and provided comfortable stay with good food.
Since the hotel doesn't confirm bookings on internet on the pretext that they don't have a reliable service, one needs to be careful about booking and the applicable tariff.

Serene Atmostphere

Mar 2016 • Friends

Situated 45 kms away from Tawang Township, Taktsang Gompa is believed to have been honored by Guru Padmasambhava’s visit during the 8th century. Your eyes cannot feed enough on the spectacular views from here. The thick coniferous forest and lofty mountains surrounding the monastery, which is located on the ridge of a hill, render magic to the air. You are sure to be overwhelmed by the serene atmosphere that makes you feel one with nature.

8th Century must visit gompa

Sep 2015 • Couples

Taktsang Gompa is one of the oldest Gompa's in India and is believed to have consecrated by the visit of Guru Padmasambhava in the 8th century AD. This Monastery is perched on the ridge of the hillock surrounded by a dense coniferous forest and lofty mountains. Around 2 KM from Sangester Lake. Scenic beauty from this place is awesome.
