Tucked away in the eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh, Namsai is a charming town that has been steadily gaining attention as a tourist destination. Located around 120 km from Mohanbari Airport in Dibrugarh, Assam, this peaceful retreat is best known for its stunning Golden Pagoda, a magnificent Buddhist temple that stands as a symbol of spiritual serenity.
Also known as Kongmu Kham, the Golden Pagoda was built in 2010 and beautifully reflects the grandeur of traditional Buddhist architecture. The temple’s intricate carvings and striking golden hues make for a breathtaking sight, especially as the sun sets, when its illuminated structure casts a shimmering reflection in the nearby water. The tranquil surroundings add to the temple’s allure, making it a perfect place for quiet contemplation. For those looking to stay overnight, comfortable accommodations are available within the temple complex.
Just 20 km from the Golden Pagoda, atop Laal Pahar (Red Hill), stands a towering Buddha statue, another must-visit site. Offering panoramic views of the landscape, this peaceful location is an ideal spot for meditation and reflection. If you're visiting the Golden Pagoda, be sure to include Laal Pahar in your itinerary for a truly enriching experience.
