The district described is Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh. It is situated at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet and is bordered by Tibet (China) to the north and Bhutan to the south-west. The Nyamjang-chu river flows through the Zemithang valley in this district [t3][t7]. Key tourist attractions mentioned, such as the Sella Pass, Jaswant Garh War Memorial, and Tawang Monastery, are iconic landmarks of this region [t5][t9]. P. Tso Lake (Pankang Teng Tso) is a high-altitude lake located near Tawang town. The district is primarily inhabited by the Monpa tribe, who celebrate Losar (the Tibetan New Year) as their most prominent festival [t2][t4][t9]. Agriculture in the region focuses on cold-climate crops like potato, maize, and millet. The presence of the War Memorial and Jaswant Garh commemorates the 1962 Indo-China war, further confirming the location as Tawang.
