Plateau and peaks at Bumla Pass
Day trip

Tawang to Bumla Pass, by local taxi.

A full day to the 15,200 ft border pass and the lakes on the way, with a driver who does this road every week.

The day

Bumla Pass sits about 37 km from Tawang at roughly 15,200 ft. The road passes high lakes and army posts, and the visit is a full day. Start early: weather usually turns in the afternoon.

Many guests add Shongatser Lake on the same day when the road is open.

Permits

A separate Bumla permit is needed, and access is generally for Indian nationals. Read our Bumla Pass permit guide. We help you with the process when you book.

Vehicle

We usually send a Scorpio N or Sumo for Bumla, as the road can be rough and snowy.
