First, BS Sanjeev's picture of the famous Tawang Monastery shot on a bright December morning. He writes, "This Buddhist monastery is the largest in India and the second largest in the world. It is located at a height of 10,000 ft and provides a breathtaking view of the nature around it. The 12-hour-drive from Tezpur via Sela Pass and a visit to the China border are the experience of a lifetime."
