Giant Buddha Statue Tawang

The Giant Buddha Statue in Tawang is a large gilded Shakyamuni Buddha statue located on a hilltop overlooking Tawang town in Arunachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of about 3,000 metres near the Tawang Monastery, the approximately 30-foot statue sits on a lotus pedestal surrounded by landscaped gardens. Inaugurated in recent years, it has become a prominent landmark and viewpoint offering panoramic views of the Tawang valley and Himalayan ranges.

Visitors can expect a large golden Buddha statue seated in meditation posture on a lotus pedestal, set within a landscaped garden on a hilltop. The site offers open paved areas for walking, seating, and viewing the Tawang valley, town and surrounding mountains. The surroundings are quiet and maintained for sightseeing, photography and quiet contemplation, with clear views of Tawang Monastery and the valley below on clear days.
