Region
Tawang and West Kameng districts in the western fringe of Arunachal Pradesh in India was from 500 B.C to 600 A.D, part of Monyul Kingdom.
This is a backward and tribal area, bordering Bhutan on the east and China in the north.
The area is mostly resided by Buddhist minorities.
Because of this unique position, the Monyul area remained until recently, quite isolated, but self-contained.
