Lumla, a lesser-known location in western Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang district, will soon find a place on the national tourism map as the young Dalai Lama had passed through and stayed in this area during his escape from Lhasa to India in 1959.

A two-member delegation from Tibet's Parliament in exile visited here as part of a campaign to increase interaction with the Indian people and took part in programs organised with the help of the India-Tibet Cooperation Forum.
