Tawang’s Street Show could become one of Arunachal Pradesh’s biggest cultural attractions! An entire street coming alive with the vibrant dance traditions of the Monpas, alongside spectacular performances by different tribal communities from across Arunachal. With a little more planning, wider participation from different tribes and proper promotion, this could become a major annual attraction in Tawang and one of the most popular cultural showcases in the state. This deserves to grow BIG!
