I’m interested in exploring historical sites around Nuranang Waterfalls. What nearby attractions have historical significance? Is the 22 km distant Sela Pass worth a visit for its past military use?

A short walk from the falls takes you to the Nuranang War Memorial, built after the 1962 war. The nearby village still has old stone houses and a small museum of wartime artifacts. If you’re up for a longer trek, the Sela Pass road is lined with old army campsites and a few memorial plaques, so it’s worth a stop for the history.

If you’re already heading toward Sela Pass, you’ll notice the old army camps that line the road. Many of them were built during the 1962 war to support troops moving north, so you can see the remnants of those barracks and a few memorial plaques along the route.

If you have a few hours before heading to Sela Pass, consider a short detour to the Nuranang War Memorial. It’s right beside the falls and offers a quiet space to learn about the 1962 conflict. After that, you can walk to the nearby old army camps along the Sela road and see the memorial plaques. If you need a place to stay after the trek, Awoo Resort in Bomdila is a decent option.

Sela Pass sits at about 4,170 m and the road is still used by the army today, so you’ll see modern supply depots in addition to the old 1962 camps.
