The monastery is perched on the ridge of a hillock surrounded by a dense [[Northeastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests|coniferous forest]] and lofty mountains. The monastery has three tiers, each dedicated to a Tibetan guru or god. The monastery is a 5&amp;nbsp;km drive from the popular tourist destination [[Madhuri Lake]] (also known as Sungester Lake). Guests can visit Tirth yatra and locations nearby where [[Guru Padmasambhava]] is said to have meditated. Visitors can trek down the stairs at the back of the main complex to visit the lair of Guru Padmasambhava.&lt;ref&gt;[http://tawang.nic.in Official website of Tawang]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Paro Taktsang]] (spa phro stag tshang / spa gro stag tshang), the popular name of Taktsang Palphug Monastery<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Arunachal Pradesh}}<br /> <br /> {{Buddhist monasteries in Arunachal Pradesh}}<br /> {{Authority control}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tibetan Buddhist monasteries]]<br /> [[Category:Buddhist monasteries in Arunachal Pradesh]]<br /> [[Category:Buddhist temples in India]]</div>
