The design and architecture of the Rumtek Monastery were so impressive that it was hailed to be a model for the other monasteries that were later built throughout India. Its interiors are beautifully illustrated with frescos, murals, paintings, and sculptures. While photography is strictly prohibited inside the monastery, we suggest you imbibe all of it for as long as you want. Followers of Buddhism come here to pay respect to the Golden Stupa which is a major attraction here. It carries the relics of the 16th Century Karmapa that is made out of pure gold. In addition to the 4 statues, the monastery also treasures the Black Hat, known as Vajra Mukut, which is a beautiful object that is studded with rubies, diamonds, gold and other precious stones.

The breathtakingly beautiful monastery is enclosed by 925 feet long compound wall. And within the complex, there are about 65 residential buildings with over 700 monks and 450 lamas residing in them. Entering the Tawang Monastery itself is a grand experience; you will come across huge doors about ten to twenty feet high. This kingdom has several edifices within the premises but the most prominent one is the &#8216;Dukhang&#8217; or the assembly hall. Inside the walls of Dukhang you will find murals of different gods and saints. There is a silver casket in the Dukhang which holds thangkas of the Goddess Sri Devi. The thangkas were painted with the blood drawn from the 5th Dalai Lama&#8217;s nose. Most importantly, the giant statue of Lord Buddha sitting peacefully in the middle of the northern side of the Monastery will leave you awestruck for days on end. A massive richly adorned Tawang Monastery is a definite must-visit attraction in Arunachal Pradesh on your next spiritual holiday.&nbsp;For a comfortable journey, book your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/guwahati\/guwahati-to-tawang-cabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cab from Guwahati to Tawang here (opens in a new tab)\">cab from Guwahati to Tawang here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

The incredibly beautiful monastery is located in the Zanskar region of Jammu and Kashmir. Fun fact, Phuktal Monastery is one of the most isolated monasteries in the country with buildings made of wood and mud. Although constructed in the 12th century, Phuktal was hidden from the outside world until Hungarian philologist Alexander Csoma de K&#8217;r\u00f6s discovered it in 1826. It is also one of the only monasteries in Ladakh that can be reached purely on foot. Supplies to the monastery are mainly brought through horses and mules in the summer while transported through the frozen Zanskar river in the winter. There is a river that separates the monastery from the rest of the world. A suspended bridge over the river allows you to reach the monastery. The river flows below the bridge throughout the year. Visit this monastery for the sheer experience of it and get a chance to truly get away from the rest of the world.&nbsp;For a detailed guide to traveling across Ladakh, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/guide-to-travelling-lahaul-spiti\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10.
