Chumi Gyatse Falls

A collection of 108 waterfalls cascades from an elevation of 11,500 feet, forming a natural spectacle near the India-China border at Yangtse.

The control of the Yangtse region, including the waterfalls, shifted from Tibet to India during the early 1950s through a peaceful transfer of power.

The water streams hold spiritual importance for the Monpa communities, who consider them a manifestation of Guru Padmasambhava's interaction with the land.

Visitors can access the falls through a four-hour drive from Tawang, followed by a 30-minute walk, with September through November offering the best conditions.

The Shangrila Calling Festival, initiated in 2021 at the nearby Tsechu village, celebrates the waterfalls through storytelling and cultural presentations.
