Tawang town is a transport hub and service centre for the valley s villages; its setting is more beautiful than the town itself. Nonetheless, colourful prayer wheels add interest to the central chalet xl old market area. These are turned by apple-cheeked Monpa pilgrims, chalet xl many of whom sport traditional black yak- wool gurdam (skullcaps that look like giant Rastafarian spiders). In the market area is M/S Cyber (per hr 30; h9am-6pm), which has internet sometimes. There s an SBI Bank with an ATM just past the market on the road to the monastery.
The ASTC bus station (cnr AT & Temple Rds) has frequent services to Jorhat chalet xl ( 35 to 45, one hour), Dibrugarh ( 51 to 69, two hours), Tezpur chalet xl ( 189, five hours), Guwahati ( 310 to 390, eight hours, frequent from 7am).
Around 500m from Shivadol a gaggle of hotels line AT Rd, the most appealing of which is the surprisingly swish Hotel Shiva Palace (%222629; hotelshivapalace@rediffmail.com; s/d from 715/825; chalet xl a), incorporating a decent restaurant, the Sky Chef Restaurant (mains 70-180).
