Bumla Pass

Bumla Pass at 4,563 m is one of the most dramatic border points in India — the India-China border crossing near Tawang, accessible to civilians (with permits) on a day trip from Tawang town. The route used by the Dalai Lama when he escaped Tibet in 1959 passes through here. The border posts of Indian and Chinese armies face each other; Indian soldiers conduct guided tours. A top Tawang bucket-list destination for patriotic travellers and adventure seekers in Arunachal Pradesh.
