Tawang
Bumla Pass at 4,563 metres is one of the rare points on the India–China (Tibet) border that is accessible to Indian civilians with the appropriate permits — and the excursion there from Tawang is one of the most extraordinary and historically charged journeys available in Northeast India. The route passes through dramatic high-altitude terrain and the border meeting point is a place of genuine geopolitical significance, where Indian and Chinese soldiers occasionally exchange pleasantries at a designated meeting point.
Permits for Bumla Pass must be arranged at least 1–2 days in advance from the Tawang District Administration office with a copy of your Restricted Area Permit. The pass closes without warning due to military exercises — verify access the morning of your visit.
