Nathu La Pass is the passage between India & China, located 57km from Gangtok at an altitude of 14140 ft. It was snowing heavily when I went, and the official rule is that photography is prohibited, so I left my camera & phone in the car, but when I got there I saw everyone taking pictures on their phone, and felt silly having left all my gear behind. There isn’t much to see here, other than the fencing at the border. There is a long staircase to the border which was extremely crowded to get through on the day that I was there. All the tourists had a ball of a time playing in the snow, but I ran back to the car-I’m not a big fan of the cold, and for that reason I didn’t climb up to the border, just saw it from below.
