Thus, any nature lover is sure to consider the Sessa Orchid Sanctuary as a heaven. Larger than ten hectares and comprising more than two hundred species of orchids, it is a sanctuary. The specific natural resource element that appeals to the senses is green foliage of the plants and bright colors of the flowers of the orchids. Walk around the sanctuary, mostly around the gardens, and do not forget to get some good shots of these flowers.
The best vantage point is, however, the Bomdila View Point where one can really enjoy the crisp clear view of the town. From this vantage you can get a great view of the surrounding hills, valleys and the great himalayas. It’s rather picturesque to see the sun rise or set behind the mountains when they are capped with snow. It is actually a very good area to zone in on and capture the scenic views.

Here one can see native craftsmen at work and purchase hand-woven carpets, ethnic masks and many other trinkets.
