Why September here
Gompas, apple country and the first real mountain town on the Tawang road.
Bomdila sits at about 8,000ft on the Tawang road: the upper and lower gompas, apple-and-kiwi orchards on the slopes, and viewpoint ridges looking toward the Gorichen range. It is the classic first overnight after Tezpur and Bhalukpong.
What to do
Upper Gompa
The hilltop monastery above the town.
