Itinerary description
|
This route, on the contrary, gives us that it is little traveled.
The Dochula Pass is a transit site, and the agencies only make a stop there for tea, see the Himalayas (by far) if the clouds leave and continue east or return to Thimpu, we are to sleep there in a resort, which allowed us to do it.
Removing the height, it rises from 3100 to almost 3600 masl in less than 4 km, the path is easy, they also say that the forests at that height are full of Bengal tigers, but we did not see any.
From the monastery of Lungchutse the views of the Himalayas are better than from the pass.
