Tawang district is one of the 16 administrative districts of Arunachal Pradesh in northeastern India. The area is historically Tibetan territory. It is the eighth least populated district in the country. Tawang is inhabited by the Monpa people. Tawang was historically part of Tibet. The 1914 Simla Accord defined the McMahon Line as the new boundary between British India and Tibet. The district is divided into 3 sub-divisions: Tawang, Lumla and Jang. There are 3 Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly constituencies located in this district: Lumla, Tawang and Mukto. All of these are part of Arunachal West Lok Sabha constituency. Most of the people, which includes the Monpa, Takpa and the Tibetans, are Tibetan Buddhist by religion. Most of the tribes depend on agriculture for a living. Owing to Tawang's cold climate, farmers breed yak and sheep, although in lower altitudes crops are also planted.
