Welcome to IndiaMike Sunny!

I hope the links at the bottom of this page can help gather more info on Tawang, and the permit requirements. Being a disputed zone, crossing the border into China is not possible from Tawang (as far as I know). No idea if Bhutan has an entry point from Tawang, there is one from Rangia in Assam though. Hope this helps.

I can only echo #1 here : there are no open borders between India & China since ´62 , and at present Tawang is the last place that would open since China lays claims to it.

I add my agreement to the above comments. The only entry points into Arunachal Pradesh are apparently via Assam. I remember reading a book where the author was following the Brahmaputra from Tibet and wanted to cross into the Siang Province of AP nearby to Pemako. He could not. He had to return and come up the river from Pasighat and continue his journey.
