Nathu La pass- Indo China border ( Not to miss)

    Nathu la is a high altitude pass situated on the old Silk route at the Indo-China border and is the favorite hotspot for tourists in Sikkim. Several visitors come here every year to enjoy the scenic trek to the valley while listening to the lyrical waterfalls astriding the road from Gangtok to Nathu la. It also offers a breathtaking view of the snow covered mountains under the light blue sky and the long winding roads. Nathu la offers a mesmerizing view of the Chumbi Valley of Tibet, guarded by mountains.
       It is situated at an altitude of 4302 m and is one of the highest motorable roads in the world, blessed with picturesque beauty and fresh mountain breeze. The place mainly receives cold weather for most of the parts of the year and gets flocked with visitors during summer. One another fascinating fact about this mountainous pass is that it is one of the three trading border posts between China and India, the other two are in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
       The pass bears witness to the struggles and sacrifices of soldiers who fought during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. The remnants of bunkers and war installations serve as poignant reminders of the challenges faced by those who defended the nation. Nathula Pass stands as a physical representation of the amalgamation of Indian and Chinese cultures. The friendly interactions between the soldiers of both nations during the Border Personnel Meetings (BPMs) reflect a shared sense of respect and camaraderie.
      The weather at Nathula is highly unpredictable. Visitors should dress in layers, carry essentials like sunglasses, sunscreen, and water, and be prepared for sudden temperature changes.
         So, what do you think? Did you like the place?

If so, what are you waiting for – Get packing!! As I always say, you can’t do justice to yourself as a traveler if you haven’t been to Nathula Pass. And Sikkim is a very beautiful place as well. I’ll write about Gangtok in another post, some other time .Keep in touch.
