Tour Overview
Mago Chuna Valley and Gongkar La sit past where most Tawang trips stop. Monpa and Brokpa families still herd yak through Mago's gorges, and Gongkar La is a glacial lake you reach mostly on off-road track. This trip includes Bumla Pass, the highlight most travelers come for, then continues into terrain few operators cover at all.
