Tawang war memorial is dedicated to the soldieries who scarified lives in the 1962 indo China War

Place with great historical value. I got goosebumps while watching the light and sound show based on 1962 Indo-China war.

I never knew there was a place like this. The story and documentation of the war and the sacrifices made by our Indian army is commendable. The place is tourist friendly and people are very very helpful. The good thing is that all major sites in Tawang are walkable.

It’s a must to visit when you are in Tawang. The place is so quiet and peaceful that you will not be willing to come back from that place. The people and the army officers are so friendly in nature and are always ready to help you in any problem. When you visit the War memorial you will see the true stories behind wars and you will be in tears after seeing those bullet marks in the helmets and vests of the martyred soldiers.

A war memorial for Indian soldiers who were killed during the Indo-China war of 1962...it's a must visit place for every Indian visiting Tawang. The Sound & Video show starts at 5:30pm everyday with 2-3 shows depending on demand... Ticket price is Rs. 50. Definitely you will be filled with patriotic feeling when u visit this memorial

The location is quite close to Tawang town. The way this place captures every detail about the 1962 Indo China war is commendable. Its incredibly well maintained and well preserved. It's overwhelming to read about the stories of sacrifice and valour of the Indian soldiers during this war. The museum has artifacts, photographs and things used by the army during the war like helmets, guns etc. We missed the light and the sound show because we were late (happens usually between 4 to 5 pm). Visit this along with the Bumla pass so as to remember these unsung heroes who laid down their lives for our country in the harshest weather conditions and a difficult terrain as this one.
