If you try to go via Sangetsar Lake, you may face some problems from the local vehicle drivers\/owners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another option, which you may consider (on which we did not work thoroughly because of our foolishness) is to go to Zemithang via Lumla and come back via Sangetsar Lake, thus completing the full circuit either in a single day or with a night stay at Zemithang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this option, since you will be approaching Sangetsar Lake from Zemithang, there will be no one to object. But what I have heard is that the Zemithang &#8211; T-Gompa &#8211;\u00a0 Sangetsar Lake stretch is very bad and army vehicles ply on that stretch very infrequently. Therefore, if there is any problem in your vehicle on that stretch, it would be difficult to get help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zemithang can be visited by non-Tawng vehicle. Theoretically, even Bumla can be accessed by own vehicle but local taxi unions do obstruct going to Bumla and Sangetsar Lake from Tawang using private vehicles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Quick Navigation<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a143e027be3c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999999;color:#999999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a143e027be3c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Day_5_%E2%80%93_Tawang_to_Zemithang\" >Day 5 &#8211; Tawang to Zemithang<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Lumla\" >Lumla<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#BTK_Waterfall\" >BTK Waterfall<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Gorsam_Chorten\" >Gorsam Chorten<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Zemithang\" >Zemithang<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Tawang\" >Tawang<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tawang-to-zemithang-tourist-places-near-tawang\/#Tawang_to_Zemithang_Permits\" >Tawang to Zemithang Permits<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_5_%E2%80%93_Tawang_to_Zemithang\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Day 5 &#8211; Tawang to Zemithang<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This day was allocated for Zemithang via Lumla.

On the day of arrival at Tawang, we actually took this turn wrongly. So traveling by this road was in our destiny I guess.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a downhill drive from Tawang for the first 7-8 km. Then gradual ascent started. The road condition was varying from good to average to bad and then again in the reverse order. Topography was distinctly different from that of the Bumla&#8217;s side. It was lush green all around with occasional streams flowing down from the hills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34888 size-full\" title=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5.jpg\" alt=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-5-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lumla\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lumla<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After driving around 60 minutes, we crossed the welcome gate of Lumla. But it took another 30 minutes to reach Lumla market. On the way, we had crossed several villages along the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34892 size-full\" title=\"lumla\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8.jpg\" alt=\"lumla\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-8-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Lumla, the road bifurcates. The right one goes to Zemithang. The left one goes to the Indo-Bhutan border. What I read is that the road on the Indian side is ready but it is more or less non-existent on the Bhutan side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bhutan Government, for whatever reason, is not developing the road on their side. If developed, it can be an alternate route to Tawang bypassing the mighty Sela.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We took a longish break there to have our lunch. After lunch, we started from Lumla market around 1 pm. Lumla is at a height. So downhill drive started. The road condition worsened. It literally became a gravel road. At some places, water streams were flowing over the road causing very thick mud. So we had to drive cautiously.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BTK_Waterfall\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">BTK Waterfall<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After some time, we came down at the level of Nyamjang Chu River, which originates from Zemithang valley.

There was an army check post just before entering Zemithang. They enquired us whether we had a permit. We told them that we did not have a permit because as per our understanding it was not required.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They asked about our plan. We told them that we would spend some time in Zemithang and then would come back along the same route. They took our identity cards and let us go. I guess, they were apprehensive whether we would return via T Gompa, Sangetsar Lake, and Y-Junction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since it was late afternoon by that time, they took our identity cards just to ensure that we did not become too adventurous and returned to Tawang via Lumla only.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zemithang is on the other bank of the river and we had to again cross the river using the bridge. Our initial idea was to roam around in Zemithang village for some time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But it was well past 3 pm. So we got down immediately after crossing the bridge, spent 5-10 minutes there, and did not go inside the village. We took some photos and started the return drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34904 size-full\" title=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20.jpg\" alt=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-20-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-34905 size-full\" title=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21.jpg\" alt=\"Tawang to Zemithang\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tawang-to-zemithang-21-585x439.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the future, whenever I come to Tawang, I will try to do this full circuit of Tawang-Lumla-Zemithang-T Gompa-Sangetsar Lake-Y Junction-Tawang possibly with a night halt at Zemithang.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tawang\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tawang<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We reached Lumla around 5.30 pm. All of us were feeling hungry. We went to a shop and ordered for Momo and Thukpa. It was not ready. They took some time to prepare the same. By the time we started, it was past 6 pm and completely dark. The good thing was it was not raining and there was almost no vehicle on the road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We finally reached Tawang around 8 pm after cautious driving. Since we were scheduled to start our return journey the next day, we quickly finished our packing and retired for the day.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tawang_to_Zemithang_Permits\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Tawang to Zemithang Permits<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pass is required only for Bumla. No pass is required for Sangetsar Lake or Zemithang. However, when we are going to Zemithang, at a check post just before Zemithang, army personnel kept my identity cards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In all probability, they did it to ensure we come back to Tawang via Lumla only and do not try T Gompa &#8211; Sangetsar Lake &#8211; Y Junction route because it was 3 pm already. While returning, they gave back my identity cards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per as I know, Bumla is open every day. But you have to obtain a permit from the DC office at Tawang. So you should not reach Tawang on Friday &amp; Saturday because the DC office will remain closed on next day and one day may be wasted.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Journey Ahead: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/nuranang-falls-jaswant-singh-war-memorial\/\">Tawang to Dirang &#8211; Day 6<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if you can cover Sangetsar and Bumla in a day, you may consider going to Zemithang via Lumla. The visit is worth it. The next day we started our drive back to Dirang while covering attractions like Khinmey Monastery, Jaswant Garh War Memorial, and Nuranang waterfall on the way.
