Cho La (Sikkim and Tibet)


Cho La or Cho-la is a mountain pass in the Himalayas. It connects the Indian state of Sikkim with China's Tibet Autonomous Region. It is situated around four miles to the north-west of Nathu La.
The pass was the scene of a clash between Chinese and Indian troops on 1 October 1967.
The road is inaccessible during the colder half of the year. On the Chinese side, there is a border guard outpost at above sea level. Road to the outpost was repaved in 2016.
