The Monastery is huge and the largest Buddhist Monastery in India. It was established almost 450 years ago. The atmosphere is serene and the prayer hall huge & impressive. Though the old structure was made of wood, it's been renovated with concrete although the old facade has been maintained. We were lucky to be taken around by a Lama who explained the significance of the Monastery and also explain the artefacts in the Museum. The Museum is worth a visit as it has pictures of the various dignitaries who've visited the place and also some quaint artefacts of yore including those belonging to the one who built the Monastery. There were no tickets for the Monastery per se, but there was an entry fee of Rs. 20/- for the Museum. Definitely worth a visit when in Tawang.

Nice stay & visit. Food, low oxygen & cold is a challenge. Most go with booking. Dead lake no biological activities. Best time during summer

Nice place to visit. However if you compare with other lakes especially madhuri lake this won't come close to that. However as any lake is beautiful in this high altitude hence you will like it. You get a option of riding a pony here they charge Rs. 300 for a 10 min ride.

PTso lake is easily my favourite lake in the whole of Tawang. Since it's one of the largest or so to say the longest lake in Tawang, there's so much to explore in this lake. The lake is frozen during winter starting from January. The place surrounding the lake is covered by snow during winter and it's covered by lapis flower and rhododendron during summer. So basically the lake looks awesome throughout the year. The lake is also a home to different colorful birds. Lastly, don't forget to wear gloves and warm jacket if you're visiting during winter.

Great Nature view When you travel to Bomla pass from Tawang via T Ghumpha road you found the lake at the side of Road Don't Throw the Garbage/plastic items on Road Have a safe visit

Beautiful from a distance. However there did not seem to be proper track to go near the lake.

Located around 18 Kms from Tawang town, this lake is a place of spiritual importance for the Buddhist community. Penga Teng Tso is a major tourist attraction for people visiting Tawang. It is on the way to Bumla Pass and the scenery is simply so enchanting that you will fall in love with the place. We went there on 25th November 2023 and the mountains behind were alrady covered with snow. Simply mesmerizing.

We visited the lake in 2022 and we had an awesome experience at Panga Teng Tso lake. The freezing cold and the sight of the frozen water made it a unique and beautiful view. I spent some quality time there, taking in the stunning surroundings. However, one thing I noticed was the absence of public toilets nearby, which could be inconvenient for visitors. Despite that, I would still recommend Panga Teng Tso lake for its natural beauty and serene atmosphere. It's definitely worth a visit

While visiting Bum La Pass this is the spot where you definitely have to stop by in order to enjoy adoring the views of this beautiful lake! We visited during the early morning when there was absolutely no crowd and we were lucky to enjoy the peace and serenity around this lake and loved seeing those gorgeous clouds moving and the water being calm! If you're willing to pay a visit then you gotta get down via the steps and can enjoy having a walk around the lake which is highly recommended because of the solitude you're gonna be experiencing 👍

Indescribable views of the snow. I went in the beginning of April and it had been snowing for the last few days. We could only go upto the frozen lake and had to turn back rather than going upto Y Junction and beyond. It was difficult reaching there with cars stalling, but the place more than made up for everything. The never ending snow topped mountains and the snow on the ground, with the sun playing peek-a-boo, gave us ample opportunities to click photos and enjoy ourselves. The lake itself was reachable only from one small path, but we were so busy enjoying ourselves in the snow that by the time we reached it, it was time to head back. It was the best part of my trip to Arunachal.

The lake is situated on the road side from tawang to bumla pass...beautiful lake.
