Around 9 kilometers from Tawang town, this monastery is one of the must-visit places in the region. Founded by His Eminence 15th Thektse Rinpoche, the Khinmey Monastery is my absolute favorite. The highlight of the monastery is the peaceful surrounding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The aura of the monastery is very powerful. The 50 feet great statue of 8th-century Indian master Guru Padmasambhava in the main prayer hall is quite eye-catching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guru-Padmasambava-at-Khinmey-Monastery-Arunachal-Pradesh.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guru-Padmasambava-at-Khinmey-Monastery-Arunachal-Pradesh.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Guru-Padmasambava-at-Khinmey-Monastery-Arunachal-Pradesh-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption>Statue of Guru Padmasambhava at  the Khinmey Monastery<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The intricate details on the wall, door, and ceiling will draw your attention as you proceed to the monastery.

The museum displays the belongings of the martyrs. It also has a sound and light show which takes you back to the war times. The walls are adorned with framed photographs of the brave soldiers at the time of the war. Photography is not allowed inside the memorial. So keep that in mind while visiting.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>8. <strong>Visit the Giant Buddha Statue for an aerial view of Tawang City<\/strong><\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"center\",\"id\":50924,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/traveldiaryparnashree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Giant-Buddha-Statue-in-Tawang-Arunachal-Pradesh.jpg\" alt=\"Visiting Giant Buddha Statue in Tawang is one of the Offbeat experiences in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh\" class=\"wp-image-50924\"\/><figcaption>You can't miss this <strong>Giant Buddha Statue<\/strong> in Tawang<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"align\":\"justify\"} -->\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><strong>Want to have a bird\u2019s eye view of the Tawang Town?<\/strong> Visit Giant Buddha Statue for an aerial view of the town.

It was built by Tangton Gyalpo, a disciple of the first Dalai Lama, who constructed this iron bridge in the 14th&nbsp;century. He was popularly known as Lama Chag-Zam Wangpo. The bridge was built over the Tawang-Chu River to make a passage through Kitpi and Mukto. The best thing about this bridge is that one can still cross this centuries-old bridge. The Chakzam Bridge is considered an engineering marvel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>10.
