Beautiful Buddhist Nunneries dot the landscape of Tawang town. These Nunneries are called 'Ani Gompa'. Chung Ani Gompa is one of the oldest nunnery in Tawang. It is situated 12 km from the town. It is a home to around 45 nuns and was built by Karchen Yeshi Gelek in 1595. Another wonderful nunnery near the town is Gyangong Ani Gompa which shelters around 50 nuns. Perched on a hill top, this nunnery was established by Mere Lam Lodre Gyamtso and he gifted it to his sister. Tawang Monastery controls the function of this nunnery.
