Day-10- Hanle- Umling-La- Chumathang (16th September)
Early Start of the Day. Today we will drive up to the world’s highest motorable pass to
Umling-La. Umling La Pass, located at an altitude of 19,300ft, has overtaken Khardung La
Pass to become the highest motorable road in the world.
The area around the Umling La Pass is extremely barren and contains no trace of civilization. While traversing the pass, you can feel the winds slapping your face from two directions at the same time. The views leading to the Umling La Pass, and at the pass itself, will have you up on your toes at all times. Of course, deciding to travel through this pass is certainly no child’s play. For, the pass is as risky as it is beautiful. You will experience an incredible adrenalin rush while your heart beats fast all the time. However, if you are able to overcome all these fears, you will have the experience of a lifetime.
After spending few minutes at the pass, we will start driving towards Chumathang, which also has hot springs. Enjoy the Basic stay at Locals homestays.
